Psychologists act as expert witnesses in legal cases - sometimes without knowing much about the laws involved, and legal professionals rely on the assessment of psychologists sometimes without knowing much about how such assessments are made. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe purpose of this handbook is to provide professionals with current, practical, and empirically based information to guide their work in forensic settings, or to better their understanding of the issues and debates in forensic psychology. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDivided into four sections, the \u003cb\u003eHandbook of Forensic Psychology\u003c\/b\u003e covers basic issues, assessment, mental disorders and forensic psychology, and special topics. The basic issue chapters present a primer on law for the psychologist, a primer on psychology for attorneys, an overview of ethical issues relevant to forensic psychology, and a chapter on forensic report writing. The assessment section discusses factors and measures relevant for assessing a variety of behaviors, propensities, and capabilities, including dangerousness, violence, suicide, competency, substance abuse, PTSD and neuropsychological evaluations, as well as discussing interviewing children and child custody evaluations. Additional chapters discuss eyewitness testimony, recovered memory, polygraphs, sexual harassment, juror selection, and issues of ethnicity in forensic psychology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William O'Donohue\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0125241968\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780125241960\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Academic Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/12\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 1104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.32h x 7.74w x 2.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2004 pg. 138","brand":"William O'Donohue","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48112834019583,"sku":"9780125241960","price":245.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5cfb68a4-2e07-405a-9f49-4d1ccab96d5b.jpg?v=1769611251","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/handbook-of-forensic-psychology-william-odonohue-9780125241960","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
