This is an important question and requires an important insight as well, but the answer to the question isn’t as easy as it should be, because it requires a detailed understanding. Bartol and Bartol discuss there are techniques to assess the potential of one’s risk of harming themselves or others through clinical risk assessments, which essentially analyses through experience. However, how reliable can these be isn’t fixed because when psychologists assess the information they have, they are limited to those only, and behavior has a wide range of possibilities to be affected by.
