Reviews

Up to date, encyclopedic in coverage, informed by top experts in the field, yet easily accessible for the working clinician, Clinical and Forensic Assessment of Psychopathy is a handbook in the best sense of the word: suitable for multidimensional evaluation, description, and understanding psychopathic children, adolescents, and adults. Chapters on the lived experience and criminal lifestyle of psychopathic personalities are unprecedented in the forensic literature. The contributions on Clinical Issues and Applications are superb. Marvin W. Acklin, PhD, ABAP, ABPP, Independent Clinical & Forensic Practice, Honolulu, Hawaii. Dr. Gacono has brought together a stellar group of experts to produce a fresh revision of his classic Clinician s Guide to assessment of psychopathy. New topics, important updates; it's all here for the practitioner. Clinicians, law enforcement and judicial professionals, and the general public almost always misunderstand these people; this second edition will go a long way toward educating and illuminating our colleagues with the latest on the subject.
