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.
Although Forensic Psychology was formally recognized as a specialty
by the American Board of Professional Psychology in 1985 and by the
American Psychological Association's Commission for the Recognition
of Specialties and Proficiencies in Professional Psychology in
2001, its origins can be traced back to early applications of
psychology to law during the time psychology was being
differentiated from the more general field of philosophy. As it is
currently applied, the specialty took organizational shape from the
1960's to the 1990's, and today forensic psychology is one of the
most popular areas of specialization among emerging psychologists.
The demand for forensic training, continuing education, and
research is growing in many graduate level professional programs
and at events sponsored by the American Psychology-Law Division
(41) of APA or the American Academy of Forensic Psychology.
Therefore, the need for a comprehensive text focused on the
competencies required in the specialty has never been greater. With
Specialty Competencies in Forensic Psychology, Drs. Packer and
Grisso provide a guide to understanding legal systems, evaluations,
and consultations encountered in day-to-day forensic practice that
is simultaneously sophisticated, scholarly, and user-friendly. This
is a must-read for all those interested in pursuing the forensic
specialty practice.
