I too enjoyed reading your post. Very insightful. I’m totally interested in this career my only concern is the amount of money I will have to put into my studies and where I am going to source the funds. Apart from that everything else just pulls me in more. Also we seem to have similar personalities; as I too prefer working alone, never really like working in a team, I am SO fascinated with the mind and how other persons think etc.

Thank you for posting this article. I am currently working on my bachelors degree for forensic psychology and previously worked as an evidence technician. You seem to have a lot of similar interests that I have. It’s very encouraging to me and makes me work that much harder at my education to attain my desired career goals after reading this article.

I actually published a review of Dr. Mart’s book, “Getting Started in Forensic Psychology Practice.” I too am a forensic psychologist in private practice, located in Manhattan. Like Dr. Mart, I also enjoy Judo and practice Brazilian Jiu Jitsu under Renzo Gracie. Undoubtedly, this profession attracts certain types of individuals that are relative outliers from the typical mental health practitioners. At the same time, the work of a forensic psychologist in the court room can be just as rewarding as the work done by general practitioners in therapy offices. I admire Dr. Mart. He downplayed his ABPP, which is quite an accomplishment. He also appeared to downplay how easy it is to start a private forensic practice. While I’ve had a great deal of success organizing Lamb&Maddux, LLC (www.lambmadduxgroup.com), it really took a great deal of perseverance. Being good at what you do is not enough because the lawyers in your area will already have experts they regularly use. It’s all about you taking the opportunity to show your best stuff when an attorney gets a case that’s worth rolling the dice on a new expert witness such as yourself.

Hello. I am in grade 12 and I feel almost magnetic towards the field of psychology. I applied to many universities for programs in psychology and am just awaiting acceptances, which are in May. I was wondering If in order to become a criminal psychologist would one have to earn a BSc in psychology, or a B.A in psychology? I am very interested in pursuing a career as a criminal psychologist in Canada and I was wondering if one is looked at as higher than the other?
