| Summary: | "Clinical neuropsychology is a constantly evolving specialty, with important and exciting advances in many aspects of practice, and the application of clinical neuropsychology to forensic questions and issues is growing at a tremendous rate. This handbook covers the scientific and clinical neuropsychological advances and their application in forensic contexts. To accomplish this goal, the handbook: presents the theoretical, statistical, and ethical foundations of forensic neuropsychology; describes current assessment measures and procedures employed in forensic neuropsychology, with an emphasis on their empirical evidence base; integrates recently published empirical literature involving commonly encountered disorders and special populations; describes reporting, admissibility, and testimony issues involving neuropsychology in forensic matters; and describes future directions involving the intersection of clinical neuropsychology and legal matters"--Publicity materials.
