Forensic psychology professionals often work in a multi-disciplinary team that encompasses diverse individuals from various professional backgrounds. For instance, forensic psychology professionals might work with individuals from federal, state, or local law enforcement agencies; with attorneys; or with individuals from correctional and treatment facilities.
Although working in multi-disciplinary teams can prove beneficial, potential challenges such as power dynamics, differing viewpoints, and disagreements with roles/responsibilities might arise. As every multi-disciplinary team is unique, it is important to be aware of strategies to address challenges related to working in multi-disciplinary teams. Whether it is defining roles, setting boundaries, or ensuring all team members can contribute equally, strategies like these can help multi-disciplinary teams address challenges they often encounter.
