Three-fourths of the 37 instruments reviewed in the second edition are new and thus were not reviewed in the first edition.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eApplication of the assessment model and reviews of instruments are provided for six areas of legal competence: \u003cbr\u003e-Competence to Stand Trial; \u003cbr\u003e-Waiver of Rights to Silence and Legal Counsel; \u003cbr\u003e-Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity; \u003cbr\u003e-Parenting Capacity - Determination of Child Custody; \u003cbr\u003e-Guardianship and Conservatorship; and \u003cbr\u003e-Competence to Consent to Treatment. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Grisso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0306473445\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780306473449\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/31\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 541\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 1.40d","brand":"Thomas Grisso","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44138396254463,"sku":"9780306473449","price":219.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1f35204d-8f30-420c-887a-4cf5826288fb.jpg?v=1687899431","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/evaluating-competencies-thomas-grisso-9780306473449","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
