9781462532667 / Psychological Evaluations for the Courts: A Handbook for Mental Health Professionals and Lawyers Fourth Edition

by  The Guilford Press; Fourth edition (December 22, 2017)  (Author)

Tens of thousands of readers have relied on this leading text and practitioner reference–now revised and updated–to understand the issues the legal system most commonly asks mental health professionals to address. The volume demystifies the forensic psychological assessment process and provides guidelines for participating effectively and ethically in legal proceedings. Presented are clinical and legal concepts and evidence-based assessment procedures pertaining to criminal and civil competencies, the insanity defense and related doctrines, sentencing, civil commitment, personal injury claims, antidiscrimination laws, child custody, juvenile justice, and other justice-related areas. Case examples, exercises, and a glossary facilitate learning; 19 sample reports illustrate how to conduct and write up thorough, legally admissible evaluations.
