Spanish term or phrase: Informe pericial psicológico
I’m translating a brief informational article about what psychological reports by expert witnesses are and how they work.

Could this term be translated more literally as “expert (witness) psychological report?” I have also considered using “forensic psychology report” since this is a more commonly used phrase. From my research, there is not much difference between the two terms, but I wanted to check and make sure if one is preferable to the other. Thanks in advance.

Explanation:
This one seems to crop up a number of times in relation to the UK; I'm not sure what the US equivalent would be.

"The Psychology Expert Witness Report
