O presente artigo traça os contornos gerais do
desenvolvimento da psicologia forense em Portugal,
primeiro enquanto ramo de um campo de saber mais
vasto – o da Psicologia da Justiça ou Jurídica – e mais
recentemente como disciplina autónoma que tem vindo
a receber cada vez mais solicitações da parte das
entidades judiciais. Neste sentido são apresentados
dados da prática pericial forense da Unidade de
Consulta de Psicologia da Justiça da Universidade do
Minho, bem como resultados de investigações recentes
que atestam a aceitação da prática da avaliação forense
junto de magistrados judiciais. Face aos novos
desafios e ao aumento de solicitações e reforçando a
necessidade de uma postura ética que salvaguarde o
desempenho profissional, o autor procede a algumas
recomendações que devem nortear o trabalho do perito
de psicologia forense.
This paper outlines the general features of forensic psychology in Portugal, firstly in a historical perspective and under the broader scope of Legal and Juridical Psychology, and more recently as an autonomous discipline which has been receiving more and more demands from the judicial field.

Concerning the new challenges posed by recent legal changes in Portugal and the continuous demands from the courts, the author emphasizes the ethic issues that should guide the work of the expert on forensic psychology, in order to safeguard his professional practice and social image.
