ABSTRACT
This chapter presents a case study of Rob, a 33-year-old Australian man, who was referred for a psychological assessment by his employer after he was suspended for sexually harassing female colleagues at his workplace. His employer requested that, prior to his return to work, Rob undergo an assessment to determine his risk of continuing to make obscene communications including the likelihood his behaviour would escalate (e.g., to include contact sexual offences). After being suspended from work, Rob commenced treatment with a clinical psychologist, Dr White. In order to avoid a conflict of interest as Rob's therapist, Dr White referred Rob to the private clinic for a forensic risk assessment. This case also illustrated the need to examine the well-being of the client despite the referral question asking for an assessment of reoffending only. Although Rob was not suicidal, he clearly presented with low mood and the psychological testing revealed a moderate degree of feelings of sadness.
