The practitioner-oriented coverage in the Handbook of Forensic Assessment examines:
The current state of psychology and psychiatry—including requisite clinical competencies, ethical guidelines, and considerations of multidisciplinary collaboration
Various approaches to assessments in criminal and civil matters
The principles of effective preparation, data collection, and interpretation, as well as communication for each special situation
Topics including competence to stand trial, sexual offender evaluations, addictions, child abuse, and education
Overarching practice issues, such as practice development, retention, compensation, consultation, and forensic treatment
Includes sample reports that demonstrate the integrative potential of both psychology and psychiatry
Incorporating a wealth of current and multidisciplinary research, the Handbook of Forensic Assessment is destined to become every mental health professional's most valuable one-stop reference for their forensic work.
