What Is a Psychosexual Evaluation?
A psychosexual evaluation is a thorough assessment of an individual's sexual development, interests, behaviors, and risk factors.

Provide insights for court proceedings, probation, parole, or sex offender registration.

Use of empirically validated risk assessment tools (Static-99R, Static-2002R).
