Forensic mental health assessment (FMHA) has grown into a
specialization informed by research and professional guidelines.
This series presents up-to-date information on the most important
and frequently conducted forms of FMHA. The 19 topical volumes
address best approaches to practice for particular types of
evaluation in the criminal, civil, and juvenile/family areas. Each
volume contains a thorough discussion of the relevant legal and
psychological concepts, followed by a step-by-step description of
the assessment process from preparing for the evaluation to writing
the report and testifying in court.
Volumes include the following helpful features:
. Boxes that zero in on important information for use in
evaluations
. Tips for best practice and cautions against common pitfalls
. Highlighting of relevant case law and statutes
. Separate list of assessment tools for easy reference
. Helpful glossary of key terms for the particular topic
In making recommendations for best practice, authors consider
empirical support, legal relevance, and consistency with ethical
and professional standards. These volumes offer invaluable guidance
for anyone involved in conducting or using forensic evaluations."
