Clinical psychologists and psychiatrists are increasingly being
asked to prepare reports for legal purposes. These might involve
issues regarding the clients own mental state at the time they
committed the crime, or it might involve the neuropsychological
effects of an injury to a third party. In addition, they might be
looking at issues regarding impulsivity, and the role of underlying
disorders, such as ADHD and antisocial or borderline personality
disorders. These topics are typically the preserve of the field of
forensic neuropsychology, yet for many, this discipline is seen as
a highly specialized one beyond the scope and skill of the clinical
psychologist.l
This book fills a major gap in the literature by providing a
practical reference text for clinical and forensic psychologists
and psychiatrists who are working in these important areas of
forensic consultancy, and who need a working knowledge of
neuropsychological assessment and legal processes. Topics include:
aggression and violence; learning disabilities and developmental
disorders--such as autism or ADHD; epilepsy; amnesia; alcohol and
substance misuse, and traumatic head injury. In addition, the book
looks at expert testimony, malingering, and other ethical and
professional issues. It will help practitioners deal with the
clinical and neuropsychological problems in the field and negotiate
the legal labyrinths involved in issues such as competency, fitness
to plead and stand trial, mental capacity, and mitigation.
With chapters written by leading practitioners and clinicians that
provide a synthesis of key knowledge and best practice in their
areas, this thought-provoking and pragmatic guide will be essential
for clinical and forensic neuropsychologists, psychiatrists, and
lawyers.
