User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars excellent resource!!!
edited by goldstein and weiner, and written by premier experts in each niche of forensic psychology, i find it to be a (usually) fairly exhaustive review and analysis of the major topics in the field. all chapters are very well written, most are very readable. good abpp review book as well as general reference book. at $160, it’s expensive, but, in my opinion, it was worth the price.
5 Stars The Gold Standard
The authors of each chapter are a “Who’s Who” of forensic psychology. This book presents the most up-to-date information on every important topic in the field, including evaluation methodology, case law, and research. I find that I refer to it regularly when writing reports, planning for testimony, and in my teaching. It is informative, practical, and interesting to read on its own.
5 Stars A Book Well Worth the Price
This is the most comprehensive and user-friendly forensic psychology volume available. It has a wealth of information.
5 Stars Sorry I didn’t buy this sooner!
I learned about this book at a conference. It’s by far the most up-to-date, thorough treatment of major topics in the field of forensic psychology. I find myself referring to it on a regular basis.
