Clinical forensic psychology is defined by the application of
clinical psychology – assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and
consultation – in legal contexts. The term captures the
integration of clinical psychology as an applied professional
discipline and forensic psychology as an experimental discipline.
Cases in Clinical Forensic Psychology offers a series of case
studies that allow readers to take a close and personal look at the
criminal justice system in Canada. Clinical forensic psychologist
Margo C. Watt examines the particulars of each case, including the
biological, psychological, social, cultural, and legal factors. The
book takes an evidence-based approach and highlights how the
science of clinical forensic psychology informs all aspects of
criminal cases: police investigative techniques, eyewitness
testimony, pretrial publicity, jury selection and decision-making,
forensic evaluations, psychological autopsies, mental health in
corrections, and more. Examining incidents ranging from false
confessions to wrongful convictions to deaths in custody and the
ones who got away, Cases in Clinical Forensic Psychology questions
how and why these events happened and considers what we can learn
from them.
This book comprehensively reviews bonding to enamel, dentin and
cementum and analyses relevant adhesion mechanisms. It is addressed
to both the dental researcher and the clinician. Emphasis is placed
on the characterization of material interfaces with dental tissues
in situ. The volume also stresses the importance of appropriate
experimental protocol design in facilitating clinically-relevant
research methods, clarifies the mechanisms of adhesion of polymeric
materials to hard dental tissues and furnishes a handy reference
for routine clinical procedures in restorative and prosthetic
dentistry as well as orthodontics. The book introduces important
aspects of the chemistry of dental materials and their adaptation
to dental hard tissues. It also analyses interfacial phenomena
occurring during application of materials, including mechanical
properties, and structural-compositional alterations. The text
presents the current instrumental approaches in studying related
issues and a summary of the current status of theories concerning
bonding to dental tissues. This work, in its scope and scientific
content, provides an in-depth view of the way in which aesthetic
dentistry is currently being practiced.
On November 11, 1965 the colony of Southern Rhodesia unilaterally
and illegally declared itself independent from Britain, the first
and only time that this had happened since the American Declaration
of Independence in 1776. After fifteen years of internat
In this distinguished collection the deeper cognitive aspects of
writing systems are for the first time added to the perceptual and
physiological dimensions and brought into a coherent whole. The
result is a multifaceted understanding of alphabets and other
scripts in which none of the major factors that shape those
systems, and thus distinctively reveal attributes of the human
mind, are slighted. The systems through which language is realized
on the page are compared in nature and complexity with those
through which language is realized as sound, and are seen in their
true perspective. Long the object of intensive inquiry, the process
of change in phonological systems is now joined to the evolution of
graphological systems, and new light is cast on the nature of the
relevant human cognitive processes in their diversity and
underlying unity. The authors, each eminently qualified in his or
her field, are drawn from Europe, Asia, and North and South
America.

This book examines how organizations can best develop and manage a
creative environment and creative potential. The authors argue that
organizations consist of people who have creative potential to
think in new ways and yet are often denied the opportunity to do
so. The goal of the organization should be to create a structure
and culture that encourages the conditions in which creativity can
flourish. This will generate significant competitive advantages for
the organization by offering clear differentiation, by
communicating positive brand attributes to stakeholders that will
strengthen the organization's intangible assets and by providing a
creative and challenging environment that will attract and retain
the best staff.

This book is based on experimental studies of maxillofacial
prostheses. The effect of fibre reinforcement at the interface
between silicone and acrylic polymers was investigated. Treatments
that enhance bonding of silicone to acrylic substructures for
intra-oral dental and obturator prostheses were established. Bond
strengths were studied following aggressive thermo-cycling
procedures. All acrylic interfaces tested had a clinically
acceptable range of bond strength with silicone. The net-fibre
reinforcement of the acrylic interfaces enhanced the bonding to
silicone, increasing clinical serviceability.

In 1983 numerous young adults with a family history of Huntington's
chorea attended genetics departments for information about a new
genetic test. This provided the opportunity for a larger scale
study than had previously been possible of subjects affected by the
illness and their unaffected relatives, and in particular, of the
incidence of functional psychiatric disorder of various types. This
monograph reports the findings of the study, and considers the
relation of Huntington's chorea to functional psychiatric disorder
and the future prospects of the genetics of Huntington's chorea.
