Forensic mental health assessment (FMHA) continues to develop and
expand as a specialization. Since the publication of the First
Edition of Forensic Mental Health Assessment: A Casebook over a
decade ago, there have been a number of significant changes in the
applicable law, ethics, science, and practice that have shaped the
conceptual and empirical underpinnings of FMHA. The Second Edition
of Forensic Mental Health Assessment is thoroughly updated in light
of the developments and changes in the field, while still keeping
the unique structure of presenting cases, detailed reports, and
specific teaching points on a wide range of topics. Unlike anything
else in the literature, it provides genuine (although disguised)
case material, so trainees as well as legal and mental health
professionals can review how high-quality forensic evaluation
reports are written; it features contributions from leading experts
in forensic psychology and psychiatry, providing samples of work in
their particular areas of specialization; and it discusses case
material in the larger context of broad foundational principles and
specific teaching points, making it a valuable resource for
teaching, training, and continuing education. Now featuring 50
real-world cases, this new edition covers topics including criminal
responsibility, sexual offending risk evaluation, federal
sentencing, capital sentencing, capacity to consent to treatment,
personal injury, harassment and discrimination, guardianship,
juvenile commitment, transfer and decertification, response style,
expert testimony, evaluations in a military context, and many more.
It will be invaluable for anyone involved in assessments for the
courts, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and
attorneys, as well as for FMHA courses.
