What People are Saying About This
"It reviews all the major areas that one would expect and it is well written....What I like most about this book are the case examples. It is practical and valuable for those who work in the legal arena. The novice forensic neuropsychologist will gain the most because the book walks one through the process of typical courtroom events, such as depositions and how to avoid conflicts of interest."
Doody’s Book Review Service
"The rapid expansion of forensic neuropsychology makes a current, information-packed handbook…a welcome addition to the literature. Overall, this book reflects a number of issues important to forensic neuropsychologists, many issues important to neuropsychologists in general, and issues of interest to attorneys and other professionals who interact with neuropsychologists in forensic arenas....Provides a veritable wealth of information...A valuable resource for inclusion in libraries. It reflects many unique aspects of forensic neuropsychology practice and research, as well as challenges that remain before us."
Brain Injury
"Handbook of Forensic Neuropsychology provides a comprehensive overview of important issues in forensic neuropsychology....The editors do a good job in bringing the reader along on this intellectual journey by having recruited well-known contributors who have provided excellent overviews on different aspects of forensic neuropsychology....The chapters are interesting and come alive by the use of numerous examples, "how to" scenarios, and arguments about the author's thinking and logic....a tour de force...should be required reading for any psychologist practicing in the field of forensics."
