Education

[edit]

King began his higher education at the University of Florida in Gainesville, where he studied psychology and received a Bachelor of Science in 2008.[2][10] King began his graduate educational career with Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where he studied clinical psychology and law.[2][10] He earned his Master of Science (MS) degree in clinical psychology along with completing a joint-degree program to earn his Juris Doctor (JD) in 2014 and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in clinical psychology with a forensic psychology concentration (JD-PhD) in 2016.[2][3][7]

Research

[edit]

King has focused his research on topics relating to psychology and law. As an educator at the Forensic Mental Health and Correctional Psychology Lab,[5] he has narrowed his focus down to forensic psychology,[6] psychological testing,[6] risk assessment,[8] treatment,[8] evaluations of juveniles,[8] and police mental health screening.[11]

His article, "Legal Admissibility of the Rorschach and R-PAS: A Review of Research, Practice, and Case Law" won the 2024 "R-PAS Award for Best Rorschach Case or Conceptual Article".[2] The article examines the Rorschach Performance Assessment System (R-PAS) as it relates to the research question of whether this assessment can and should be used as evidence in legal court proceedings.[12]
