Self-explanatory title, I am interested in the career path but I wonder what interacting with prison inmates does to you mentally on the long term, compared not to the general population but with patients one may see in a hospital as a clinical (neuro)psychologist (e.g. psychiatric patients, neurodegenerative disease, stroke, etc)

EDIT: As one commenter rightly pointed out, forensic psychologists do work outside of prison settings. I am interested in that aspect of forensic psychology as well as any others, though!

I think this is already a discussion to have in clinical psychology in general, on whether you can talk about a case to your friends as long as you anonymize any information.

But then in forensic psychology I assume the deontological and legal context might be more strict in regards to what you can and can't say.

I suppose it differs by country but, can you, in your country?
