Principles and Practices of Forensic Psychology & Other Related
Professions explores the intersection between psychology, other
mental health professions and the law in South Africa and Namibia.
The book fills a gap because limited literature is available to
provide guidelines for mental health professionals for forensic
work in these regions. The aim is to clarify what is relevant to
the court regarding the evaluation of a subject, be it an accused
in a criminal case, a child in a care or guardianship dispute, or a
person who is no longer competent to manage their own affairs. The
book emphasises the importance of the mental health professional's
role as an expert witness who should provide information beyond the
ordinary to enable the court to reach a fair verdict. Written by
experts from different fields, Principles and Practices of Forensic
Psychology & Other Related Professions equips readers with
guiding principles - anchored in relevant laws, rules and ethical
precepts - to conduct sound assessments and effectively communicate
findings to relevant stakeholders. Students in psychology, social
work and other mental health subjects, as well as law students,
will find this book an invaluable resource. It is comprehensive and
can be prescribed in educational institutions offering courses in
forensic psychology. Qualified professionals in this field will
benefit from this book.
