Reviews

The science and practice associated with psychological evaluations for the courts have advanced considerably in the last two decades. In Forensic Assessment in Practice: Case Studies, Corine de Ruiter and Nancy Kaser-Boyd illustrate just how far the field has come. Featuring case studies drawn from both the inquisitorial and the adversarial legal systems, this book will be valuable to forensic mental health professionals, legal professionals, trainees, and others who work with justice-involved defendants. --Kirk Heilbrun, PhD, Drexel University For those who are looking for a different kind of forensic psychology book, this is it. Its two distinguishing features are its comparative angle and its mix of theory and practice. In addition to including sample reports and analysis of fascinating cases, this book features a nuanced discussion of how to present scientific information in a language that is accessible to people involved with the legal system. --Christopher Slobogin, JD, LLM, Milton Underwood Professor of Law, Vanderbilt University Law School
