Quickly acquire the knowledge and skills you need to confidently
administer, score, and interpret the key assessment instruments
used by forensic psychologists
Mental health professionals are frequently called on to perform
forensic assessments for a wide variety of court cases. To use
these instruments properly, professionals need an authoritative
source of advice and guidance on how to administer, score, and
interpret them. Now fully revised and in a second edition,
"Essentials of Forensic Psychological Assessment" is that
source.
The "Second Edition" is completely updated to reflect current
research and theory in the field, including the most recent codes
and standards published by the American Psychological Association.
In addition, this volume offers updated coverage of the most
frequently used instruments in forensic psychological assessments,
including the MMPI(R)-2 and MMPI-2-RF, PAI(R), Rorschach(R),
ASPECT, and various neuropsychological assessment instruments.
Like all the volumes in the "Essentials of Psychological
Assessment" series, this book is designed to help busy mental
health practitioners, and those in training, quickly acquire the
knowledge and skills they need to make optimal use of major
psychological assessment instruments. Each concise chapter features
numerous callout boxes highlighting key concepts, bulleted points,
and extensive illustrative material, as well as test questions that
help you gauge and reinforce your grasp of the information
covered.
Written by a noted forensic psychologist, the "Second Edition"
offers in-depth coverage of maltreatment and domestic violence, as
well as the assessment of recidivism, fitness to stand trial, civil
commitment, substance abuse assessment, custody evaluations,
personal injury assessments, and many other aspects of forensic
mental health practice.
