In forensic rehabilitation, what term is used to refer to the person undergoing an evaluation?

In forensic rehabilitation, the term that commonly refers to the person undergoing an evaluation is "examinee." This term specifically denotes an individual who is being tested or evaluated, particularly in a psychological or forensic context. The use of "examinee" emphasizes the individual's active role in the evaluation process, indicating that they are the subject of examination by the professional conducting the assessment.

The other terms, while related to the field, do not specifically refer to the individual being evaluated. The term "evaluator" refers to the professional conducting the assessment, while "client" generally describes a person receiving services from a professional, which may not always imply that they are currently undergoing evaluation. "Evaluee" is not commonly recognized in professional terminology and is less frequently used, if at all, in the context of forensic evaluations. Understanding the correct terminology is essential for clear communication in professional settings.
