| Summary |
Forensic mental health experts have gained increasing visibility in the legal arena, particularly in the area of assessment. "Handbook of Forensic Assessment" addresses this topic from a psychiatric as well as psychological perspective. With contributions from leading psychologists and psychiatrists, this book discusses the interrelationship of the disciplines while offering detailed assessment protocols for a comprehensive range of forensic evaluations. Forensic psychologists are provided with sample reports for selected chapters, demonstrating the integrative as well as independent potential of contributions from both disciplines. |
