We all lie. Multiple times a day. But how do we scientifically detect lies? Is the polygraph valid in detecting untruth? What are white lies, and why do we lie at all? Among other things, lies are one of the main topics of today's episode of Two and a Half Men, both everyday and some specific ones, because they are dealt with by forensic psychology. This branch of psychology includes work on various aspects of legal proceedings, such as criminal investigations, trials, prisoner counseling, and assessing the risk of recidivism. Forensic psychologists also assess whether a defendant is capable of participating in his or her defense, as well as the defendant's mental health at the time the crime was committed. Forensic psychologists often serve as expert witnesses in trials, where they provide opinions on the defendant's mental state, the credibility of witnesses, or their understanding of the psychological aspects of the case. Forensic psychology is a dynamic and complex field that directly applies psychological expertise to help resolve specific legal issues and improve the efficiency of the justice system. In today's episode, Oliver talks about all aspects of this complex profession and the numerous challenges faced in practice with Irena Bošković, a forensic psychologist from Erasmus University in the Netherlands.
