DESCRIPTION:
"Greater Understanding, Better
Evaluations
Today's
increasingly sophisticated psychological and neuropsychological assessments
allow for greater understanding and evaluations in forensic psychology. By
integrating discussions of modern psychological and neuropsychological
tests with extant civil and criminal cases, this book presents a unique
resource for insight into the impact of modern behavioral science on the legal
system.
Foundational, Criminal, and Civil Issues
Divided into three parts, this timely
compilation of articles from national and international experts begins with
foundational issues such as the legal, ethical, and applied aspects of
mitigation evaluations. It examines violence prediction and risk analysis,
violence in the family, and the detection of malingering and deception in
forensic evaluations. Part 2 looks at the psychological issues found in
criminal forensic evaluation. This section discusses assessments of competence
to stand trial, mitigatory defenses, and hostage negotiation, as well as the
psychological impact of officer-involved shootings. The final part focuses on
neuropsychological evaluation as it is relevant to civil cases including
worker’s compensation, malingered pain and memory deficits, and parental
assessment in child maltreatment cases.
