Psychological evaluations for the courts

a handbook for mental health professionals and lawyers

2nd ed.

Considered the definitive reference and text since the publication of the first edition, Psychological Evaluations for the Courts, Second Edition, continues to be the most comprehensive resource for both mental health and legal professionals. This updated and expanded work addresses a broad range of legal issues, offers suggestions for evaluation procedures, and reviews appropriate research on both clinical opinions and the legal process.

With four entirely new chapters, the second edition has been revised throughout to include analyses of new case law and clinical techniques; important recent research on competency and dangerousness; and ethical rules developed by the American Psychological Association and the American Psychiatric Association.

Of special utility to students are policy-oriented exercises and fact-based case studies in nearly every chapter, 17 sample evaluation reports with illustrative commentary, detailed footnotes, chapter bibliographies, and an extensive glossary of medical and legal terms.
