Forensic mental health assessment (FMHA) has grown into a
specialization informed by research and professional guidelines.
This series presents up-to-date information on the most important
and frequently conducted forms of FMHA. The 19 topical volumes
address best approaches to practice for particular types of
evaluation in the criminal, civil, and juvenile/family areas. Each
volume contains a thorough discussion of the relevant legal and
psychological concepts, followed by a step-by-step description of
the assessment process from preparing for the evaluation to writing
the report and testifying in court.
Volumes include the following helpful features:
Boxes that zero in on important information for use in
evaluations
Tips for best practice and cautions against common pitfalls
Highlighting of relevant case law and statutes
Separate list of assessment tools for easy reference
Helpful glossary of key terms for the particular topic
In making recommendations for best practice, authors consider
empirical support, legal relevance, and consistency with ethical
and professional standards. These volumes offer invaluable guidance
for anyone involved in conducting or using forensic evaluations.
This book considers those legal, ethical and assessment issues that
arise when forensic mental health professionals are asked to
evaluate the capacity of adults to make independent decisions about
the management of their personal and financial affairs. As our
population ages, the competence of those who are elderly and
mentally infirmed may be challenged more and more frequently, and
this book will be an invaluable resource for those involved in
assessing that competence.
