The Bio-Psycho-Social assessment is a social work tool that is used to explain human behavior within a social environment. It utilizes interviews, record reviews, expert consultation, research and literature reviews. The forensic behavioral element relates the Bio-Psycho-Social assessment to the individual’s alleged criminal behavior or other legal issue.
