Handbook of Forensic Psychology: Resource for Mental Health and Legal Professionals

Home --> Articles & Databases --> Handbook of Forensic Psychology: Resource for Mental Health and Legal Professionals

Description:	"Psychologists act as expert witnesses in legal cases - sometimes without knowing much about the laws involved, and legal professionals rely on the assessment of psychologists sometimes without knowing much about how such assessments are made. The purpose of this handbook is to provide professionals with current, practical, and empirically based information to guide their work in forensic settings, or to better their understanding of the issues and debates in forensic psychology. Divided into four sections, the Handbook of Forensic Psychology covers basic issues, assessment, mental disorders and forensic psychology, and special topics. The basic issue chapters present a primer on law for the psychologist, a primer on psychology for attorneys, an overview of ethical issues relevant to forensic psychology, and a chapter on forensic report writing."
Access:	Available only to current students, faculty and staff of The University of Tulsa.
