Although Forensic Psychology was formally recognized as a specialty
by the American Board of Professional Psychology in 1985 and by the
American Psychological Association's Commission for the Recognition
of Specialties and Proficiencies in Professional Psychology in
2001, its origins can be traced back to early applications of
psychology to law during the time psychology was being
differentiated from the more general field of philosophy. As it is
currently applied, the specialty took organizational shape from the
1960's to the 1990's, and today forensic psychology is one of the
most popular areas of specialization among emerging psychologists.
The demand for forensic training, continuing education, and
research is growing in many graduate level professional programs
and at events sponsored by the American Psychology-Law Division
(41) of APA or the American Academy of Forensic Psychology.
Therefore, the need for a comprehensive text focused on the
competencies required in the specialty has never been greater. With
Specialty Competencies in Forensic Psychology, Drs. Packer and
Grisso provide a guide to understanding legal systems, evaluations,
and consultations encountered in day-to-day forensic practice that
is simultaneously sophisticated, scholarly, and user-friendly. This
is a must-read for all those interested in pursuing the forensic
specialty practice.

As the field of psychology continues to grow and new specialty
areas emerge and achieve recognition, it has become increasingly
important to define the standards of professional specialty
practice.
Developed and conceived in response to this need for practical
guidelines, this series presents methods, strategies, and
techniques for conducting day-to-day practice in any given
psychology specialty. The topical volumes address best practices
across the functional and foundational competencies that
characterize the various psychology specialties, including clinical
psychology, cognitive and behavioral psychology, school psychology,
geropsychology, forensic psychology, clinical neuropsychology,
couples and family psychology, and more. Functional competencies
include common practice activities like assessment and
intervention, while foundational competencies represent core
knowledge areas such as ethical and legal issues, cultural
diversity, and professional identification. In addition to
describing these competencies, each volume provides a definition,
description, and development timeline of a particular specialty,
including its essential and characteristic pattern of activities,
as well as its distinctive and unique features.
Written by recognized experts in their respective fields, volumes
are comprehensive, up-to-date, and accessible. These volumes offer
invaluable guidance to not only practicing mental health
professionals, but those training for specialty practice as well.
