Throughout the years, psychology has been drawn into courtroom cases more and more. Consequently, it is important for lawyers and psychologists to better understand each other. At this forensic interface, there is an urgent need for both parties to recognize how their respective languages, rules, and playing fields differ so that they can work together collaboratively and effectively.
One difference between them, for example, is that in psychology there is only one truth, per issue, empirically established. In law however, truths can compete with each other because the nature of court proceedings is adversarial.
