PSYCHOSEXUAL EVALUTATIONS

  • It is an evaluation conducted by a mental health professional that focuses on the client’s psychological and sexual functioning. This evaluation also examines the client’s sexual interests, attitudes and behaviors to see if the client has a sexual deviancy problem. These evaluations also assess the client’s risk for re-offending or acting out sexually in the future. This part of the evaluation is called a risk assessment.
