Details: The APA Handbook of Forensic Neuropsychology covers the scientific and clinical neuropsychological advances and their application in forensic contexts.

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.
