Forensic Psychology

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'I will certainly recommend this book to psychologists working within and for the UK court system and to other forensic practitioners in need of greater understanding about the actual roles and remit of forensic psychologists.' - Dr Lori Beth Bisbey, Science & Justice 1998: 38(4)

'The book is admirably constructed and the material in it accurate and meticulously researched. The end result is that these highly eminent and experienced practitioner academics have produced an extremely valuable asset for its intended market and one which no conscientious forensic psychologist or lawyer whose work is relevant can afford to be without. Furthermore, in this developing field, it is essential that legal practitioners commence their training in a way that encompasses areas that may hitherto have been considered to be of little importance. A student solicitor, or barrister, or even judge, would do well to familiarize themselves with this book. Strongly recommended.' - A. Heaton-Armstrong, Medicine Science Law

'This book is a very welcome addition to the literature, one which will have an appeal well beyond those who have chosen forensic psychology as their career. In sum, an excellent and authoritative practical guide to a growing area of psychology. Psychologists with any kind of professional contact with the judicial system will find this to be a most valuable volume.' - P. de Silva, Behaviour Research and Therapy

'In inverse proportion to the typical legal process, the book is short and clear. Reading Forensic Psychology: A Guide to Practice could prevent you from making serious mistakes with major consequences for your client and yourself.' - Vincent Egan, Clinical Psychology Forum
