This book provides, in a single volume, an extensive,
research-based evaluation of the most popular clinical assessment
tools as applied in forensic settings. These widely used
instruments often require important modifications in their
administration and interpretation when used for forensic purposes,
and it is vital that the clinician is intimately familiar with
their correct application, as well as their limitations. The test
instruments included are analyzed by senior figures in the field of
psychological assessment who are uniquely qualified to discuss them
because they have either had a crucial role in the development of
the tests, or they have dedicated their careers to advancing our
understanding of these clinical assessment measures. Each chapter
begins with a summary of the development of the assessment
instrument in its more traditional applications in clinical
settings, and then considers its utilization in forensic settings.
The types of forensic issues which have been addressed with that
instrument are reviewed, and an illustrative case example is given
which reflects the types of uses and limitations of the assessment
technique when applied in a forensic context. New in this edition
are a chapter on the MMPI-2-RF and separate chapters for the adult
and youth versions of the Hare Psychopathy Checklist. Psychologists
using assessment instruments in applied forensic settings will find
this to be a valuable and practical source of information, as will
attorneys wishing to gain an understanding of the application of
these psychological assessment approaches in the courtroom.
