This Is Your Brain On Trial, September 10, 2011
This review is from: Clinical Neuropsychology in the Criminal Forensic Setting (Hardcover)
Clinical Neuropsychology in the Criminal Forensic Setting examines the impact of brain dysfunction on matters related to the criminal justice system. These include chapters on the admissibility of neuropsychological evidence in court; criminal competencies to waive Miranda rights, stand trial, and be sentenced; the insanity defense and diminished capacity; prediction of future dangerousness; assessment of malingering; and neuropsychology in the juvenile justice system. Additional chapters provide guidance in the nuts and bolts of conducting a criminal forensic neuropsychological evaluation and preparing a report, and in testifying in criminal court. Both scholarly and practical, this comprehensive volume can serve as a text for courses in criminal forensic neuropsychology and will be useful to any clinician that performs these kinds of evaluations and testifies as an expert witness in criminal cases.
