The application of clinical neuropsychology to forensic questions and issues is growing at a tremendous rate. The APA Handbook of Forensic Neuropsychology covers the scientific and clinical neuropsychological advances and their application in forensic contexts. To accomplish this goal, this handbook (a) presents the theoretical, statistical, and ethical foundations of forensic neuropsychology; (b) describes current assessment measures and procedures employed in forensic neuropsychology, with an emphasis on their empirical evidence base; (c) integrates recently published empirical literature involving commonly encountered disorders and special populations; (d) describes reporting, admissibility, and testimony issues involving neuropsychology in forensic matters; and (e) describes future directions involving the intersection of clinical neuropsychology and legal matters.

Review

“A welcome addition to the literature and will be of benefit not only to clinical neuropsychologists who work in the forensic area but also to attorneys whose work involves clinical neuropsychology.” —SirReadaLot

“The APA Handbook of Forensic Neuropsychology is an authoritative and well-written book that contains a wealth of information for a diverse readership. The handbook is highly recommended for clinical neuropsychologists who have or will venture into the arena of forensic neuropsychology.” —PsycCRITIQUES
