LEMES, Simone C.  and  FERREIRA, Vinícius Renato T.. Psychological report in justice: an analysis of the quality of expert reports. Psicol. teor. prat. [online]. 2021, vol.23, n.2, pp. 01-21. ISSN 1516-3687.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5935/1980-6906/ePTPPA13393.

Psychological reports must meet minimally technical and ethical requirements that are regulated by resolutions of the Federal Council of Psychology (CFP) and by legislation. This study aimed to assess whether psychological reports prepared by freelance psychologist experts for the processes of the Family and Childhood and Justice Courts of Rio Grande do Sul were in accordance with the resolutions, ethical aspects and the theoretical-technical requirements required by the CFP. It is a quantitative research, whose data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and descriptive frequency analysis with documentary analysis. Inconsistencies were identified in the preparation of the experts' psychological reports regarding the various requirements contained in the code of ethics and in the resolutions. It is considered that the misinformation of freelance psychologist experts with regard to CFP resolutions is one of the causes that contribute to the absence of items that are indispensable to the elaboration of quality psychological reports.

Keywords : reports; resolutions; justice; psychology; expertise.
