Forensic Psychology and Neuropsychology for Criminal and Civil Cases (9780849381737)



Greater Understanding, Better Evaluations

Today's increasingly sophisticated psychological and neuropsychological assessments allow for greater understanding and evaluations in forensic psychology. By integrating discussions of modern psychological and neuropsychological tests with extant civil and criminal cases, this book presents a unique resource for insight into the impact of modern behavioral science on the legal system.

Foundational, Criminal, and Civil Issues

Divided into three parts, this timely compilation of articles from national and international experts begins with foundational issues such as the legal, ethical, and applied aspects of mitigation evaluations. It examines violence prediction and risk analysis, violence in the family, and the detection of malingering and deception in forensic evaluations. Part 2 looks at the psychological issues found in criminal forensic evaluation. This section discusses assessments of competence to stand trial, mitigatory defenses, and hostage negotiation, as well as the psychological impact of officer-involved shootings. The final part focuses on neuropsychological evaluation as it is relevant to civil cases including worker's compensation, malingered pain and memory deficits, and parental assessment in child maltreatment cases.

Template Case Studies

Providing several full case studies in more than a dozen appendices, this book addresses both psychological and neuropsychological concepts in the context of the legal system and allows for a practical understanding and application of behavioral, legal, and ethical issues in civil and criminal cases.

Si hay algo que les preocupa a los padres es su alimentación de sus hijos. ¿Necesitan los bebés de 6 meses que un adulto les dé de comer a la boca? ¿Y comer los alimentos triturados? ¿Se les debe dar a comer a demanda? Estas reflexiones son las que han conducido al estudio del enfoque de introducción de la alimentación complementaria conocido como Baby-Led Weaning o alimentación autorregulada o dirigida por el bebé, donde se promueve que desde el inicio de la incoporación de los alimentos, sea el propio bebé el que coma por sí solo la misma comida que el resto de la familia con pequeñas adaptaciones y sentado a la mesa como un miembro más.
