This unique book offers valuable insights into the often-hidden
world of forensic psychological assessment and intervention. It
follows on from Case Studies in Forensic Psychology (2019) and
presents a range of detailed clinical case studies of adults and
young people across secure and community settings. The case studies
represent individuals with several different forms of offending
histories, such as sexual and violent offending, and various
clinical diagnoses including autism and acquired brain injury. Each
chapter details the individual's personal background, offending,
any relevant psychiatric or psychological diagnoses, and
treatments. The chapters end with an intensive discussion on the
outcomes for that case, and its wider implications. This book
allows the readers to understand the on-ground clinical practice
and day-to-day role of a forensic psychologist by demonstrating the
work undertaken behind the empirical research and highlighting the
complexities to which psychologists need to apply their expertise.
It also brings together treatment models and forensic research to
establish how theory translates into practice and consider whether
it is effective at an individual level. Further Case Studies in
Forensic Psychology is key reading for psychologists, clinicians
and practitioners at any stage of their career in this rapidly
expanding field. It will also be useful for students of forensic
psychology and those interested in the real-life work of
psychologists in forensic practice.
