Abstract
Despite the common perception that the practice of psychology has focused almost exclusively on the delivery of clinical services to clinical populations, psychology does have a lengthy history of involvement with the legal process (Asch, 1984). More recently psychology and forensic concerns have broadened to include a wide variety of issues including assessment of work disability from a psychological perspective (Volle, 1975).
