Kathryn Rea Smith, Ph.D., ABPP, is board-certified in forensic psychology. She received her doctoral degree in counseling psychology from the University of Tennessee-Knoxville in 1998. She is a full-time forensic psychologist in private practice. Typical criminal court referrals include competency, criminal responsibility, Miranda waiver, alleged false confession, and sentencing mitigation. Juvenile court referrals include competency, transfer waiver, risk assessment, and disposition. Civil court matters include independent medical examinations, fitness-for-duty evaluations, parent psychological evaluations, and evaluations for conservatorship and civil commitment. She is a certified forensic evaluator with the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services in which capacity she conducts court-ordered competency and sanity evaluations in Knoxville, Tennessee. She supervises assessments of adults and adolescents, relying on a developmental model to guide her supervision of students with readiness for internship as the distal benchmark. Students should expect more “hands on” involvement initially, and less “hands on” involvement as they demonstrate increasing competencies through the course of the juvenile justice placement.
