It is the only publication where literature reviews, case studies, and practical applications are formulated into a coherent guide for almost any civil capacity evaluation encountered in clinical neuropsychology. No clinical neuropsychologist's shelf should be without this book and it should serve as a primer for intern and fellowship training in this area. --DOODY'S<p><br>. ..this is an essential text for the clinician. It clarifies basic assumptions, models, roles, <br>and responsibilities, and it provides a rudimentary framework for conducting capacity evaluations. Furthermore, owing to the scientific blindspots it highlights, this text will also serve as a catalyst for subsequent research. -- Archives in Clinical Neuropsychology<p><br>
