Clinical Forensic Psychology: An Introduction provides students
with a succinct and practical overview of the discipline. The text
features a distinct focus on the practice of forensic psychology
and on the American and Canadian legal parameters that govern that
practice. The book covers a diverse range of topics that are
organized into four parts. Part I features a brief historical
overview of clinical forensic psychology-from its academic origins
to its relationship with psychiatry-and clearly defines the field.
Part II reviews psychology's relationship with the law, including
paradigm conflicts, expertise under the law, and the ultimate issue
problem. The foundations of forensic mental health assessment are
also reviewed. In Parts III and IV, the text focuses on clinical
activities in civil, criminal, and family court contexts. Part III
is concerned exclusively with the criminal justice system and
examines risk assessment, adjudicative competence, criminal
responsibility, and sentencing evaluations, as well as issues
associated with the special populations of juvenile, female, and
sexual offenders. In Part IV, the chapters focus on civil and
family court issues, with chapters covering psychological injury
assessment, civil competency evaluations, parenting capacity, and
child custody assessments.
