Reviews / Votes
"Consultancy and advising in forensic practice covers a range of topics in relation to the involvement of psychological approaches in forensic work within the consultation process and training approaches ... It is a practical guide and is very informative, and it is careful in its application of structures and theories, and advises understanding theoretical knowledge and deliberation about the best approach for any given area."
