The forensic psychological evaluation is supposed to be one of the most complicated. It is a psychological assessment, which requires high professional skills, moral and personal qualities while passing judgment in criminal, civil, administrative trials, etc. To solve the issues of evidence, exercise psychological pressure on the person, who reports about the circumstances investigated during the proceedings, the method of a forensic psychological evaluation of the communicative activity of a person, recorded in the video, is applied. In the midst of a psychological examination an expert analyzes respondent’s language and communication and discovers facts which are necessary for further work. The success of an examination depends on psychologist`s skills to take these facts into account.
The effectiveness of an expert examination, made by a psychologist from a respondent`s communicative activity, directly depends on the language and communication analysis. Language can not be studied apart from a person and it includes personal individual-psychological peculiarities.
The results can be applied in the expert performance by psychologists in respondent`s communication analysis.
As a consequence, the forensic psychological evaluation is supposed to be one of the most complicated. It constantly develops and enhances due to the new methods and techniques which are used in its examination. The forensic psychological evaluation resolves a number of important issues, in particular, determines the peculiarities of the communication activity recorded in the video. To determine them, the technique of a forensic psychological evaluation of the communicative activity of a person, recorded in the video, is used.
A psychologist in the analysis of the language and communication is guided by this method and their own knowledge. When revealing the nature of respondent`s communication it is necessary to take into account the individual-psychological features of a person.
A complete analysis by a psychologist of the respondents` language and communication is a background for the value of the entire study.
