HANDBOOK OF FORENSIC PSYCHOLOGY
William O'Donohoe
Forensic psychology has mushroomed into a
diverse and increasingly complex field that is equal parts law and
psychology. 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.
The 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.
Divided into four sections, the Handbook of Forensic Psychology
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.
