The book was just okay as a very basic overview, but I was disappointed. A very superificial overview of each topic that was presented, much was redundant from other texts. For example, how many times can one read about using the MMPI-2 in forensic assessments. Furthermore, the cover said that the book covered newer malingering instruments, such as the MPS. However, the coverage of the MPS was about 7 lines and pretty useless.

This book has a superficial review of issues in forensic psychology. Perhaps useful for a student in an initial review of the subject, it lacks any depth for the practitioner who is generalizing skills into specific areas in the forensic domain. I am sure there are more useful and valuable books for the practitioner.

A must read for individuals involved in Forensic evaluations! Informative. Clear. Relevant. The reader will greatly benefit from the contributors advice, experience and suggestions pertaining to a number of forensic issues.

Book was a good price.

Condition much less than advertised.

Book splitting at the spine. I had to do alot of scotch taping to keep pages in book.

Thanks anyway!

Any psychologist considering or currently working in the field of forensics will benefit from this book. Essential reading.
