I would like to see more qualitative research on the nature of delusional beliefs, especially as they differ by diagnosis (e.g., delusional thought content of schizophrenia vs. major depressive disorder with psychotic features).
One area which needs significant attention is the assessment of feigning/exaggeration of a mental disorder in individuals who may genuinely be intellectually disabled. Very few tests are developed for or tested on such individuals. As a result, there is a high false positive rate of "malingering" labels applied by these tests to people who are intellectually disabled when used in clinical and forensic practice. The consequences of this are of course substantial and concerning.
I think Police psychology is so under research. There are so many aspects of it still is waiting to be unravel such as Why police is brutal, Mental Health problems in police. Why 40% of police force involve in domestic violence.
