<DIV>I work on a forensic evaluation team for a trauma clinic.&nbsp; We do 
parental fitness as well as perpetrator and trauma evals for children, juveniles 
and adults.&nbsp; All of our clients are cps involved, and most are court 
involved through child and protection petitions.&nbsp; We are interested in 
incorporating standardized instruments into our practice protocols for our 
evaluations.&nbsp; As a doctoral student, I am familiar with some instruments 
used to measure level of violence, conflict, risk assessments, level of trauma 
and child abuse potential.&nbsp; However,&nbsp;I have found that some 
instruments while very useful for research are not as useful for 
evaluations.&nbsp; We are looking for standardized instruments which we can use 
in our forensic evaluations (especially those that have been normed to the 
population).&nbsp; </DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>Can anyone suggest some instruments (e.g. - instruments that can ALSO be 
used reliably in evaluations rather than just for research 
purposes?).&nbsp;&nbsp;We are familiar with the CBCL and are looking for a list 
of other related and potentially helpful instruments to review.&nbsp; Please 
include information on how to obtain such instruments if 
available.&nbsp;&nbsp;</DIV>
