Foundations of Forensic Mental Health Assessment (Best Practices in Forensic Mental Health Assessments)

I needed this book for my college course, so far it's a great read and very helpful for my coursework.

This book was ordered for a doctoral level forensic psychology class. Very useful and informative book. Good for students of any level.

Came as described

This is a comprehensive overview that helps the professional know the precise state of the field regarding established and emerging practices. Following principals of best practice is sure to leave you well prepared with accurate results.

Anyone who does forensic psychological work needs to know the information in this book. While other books in this "best practices" series do a very good job of discussing how to do various specific kinds of forensic work, it is essential that forensic mental health professionals understand the bases for the work they do and build their work upon that foundation. After 33 years of doing thousands of forensic evaluations, I don't know of any other book that provides the forensic professional with a stronger base for his or her work as does this one. I recommend it with no reservations whatsoever. Andrew W. Kane, Ph.D., ABAP

Great series. I really felt like I walked away from this little book with a richer understanding of the field--especially the big-picture stuff.
