Dr. Taina Laajasalo: „Child Abuse Allegations in Custody Evaluations“ | FPFL

Psychologische Hochschule Berlin (PHB) is pleased to announce the first International Symposium on Forensic Psychology in Family Law (FPFL) initiated by Prof. Dr. Jelena Zumbach! The first session will take place on October 28th, 2020 at 18:00-19:30h (UTC+1, Berlin) via Zoom. Dr. Taina Laajasalo (Finnish Institute of Health and Welfare, University of Helsinki) will speak about research and case-related experience on „Child Abuse Allegations in Custody Evaluations“.

Information on the session
If allegations of child abuse and neglect are included in child custody disputes, family law professionals face particular challenges. Accurately identifying child maltreatment requires assessing the background, the history and the context of the allegations in order to differentiate confirmed, unfounded, and fabricated allegations. The presentation provides a review of child abuse allegations within the context of child custody disputes. It describes the relevant recent academic research, including studies on substantiation rates, alienation and child interviewing. Furthermore, it emphasizes on how to build research-based practices for dealing with these highly complex and challenging cases.

Currently she works as a chief specialist at the Finnish Institute of Health and Welfare, aiming to develop child-friendly, evidence-based justice procedures as well as interventions and services for children who have experienced violence.
