Praise for Forensic Psychology and Law
‘In Forensic Psychology and Law, three internationally
known experts provide exceptional coverage of a wide array of
topics that address both the clinical applications of forensic
psychology and the role of psychological science in understanding
and evaluating legal assumptions and processes.’
–Norman Poythress, Ph D, Research Director and Professor,
Louis de la Parte Florida Mental Health Institute, Dept. of Mental
Health Law and Policy
‘Forensic Psychology and Law is a major contribution to
the teaching of law and psychology. Roesch, Zapf, and Hart offer a
timely, comprehensive, and succinct overview of the field that will
offer widespread appeal to those interested in this vibrant and
growing area. Outstanding.’
–Kirk Heilbrun, Ph D, Professor and Head, Department of
Psychology, Drexel University
‘In this volume, three noted experts have managed to capture the
basic elements of forensic psychology. It is clearly written, well
organized, and provides real world examples to hold the interest of
any reader. While clarifying complex issues, the authors also
present a very balanced discussion of a number of the most hotly
debated topics.’
–Mary Alice Conroy, Ph D, ABPP, Psychological Services
