All of the requisite forms forensic psychologists need in one
compact volume--a crucial time-saver for mental health
professionals in today's complex legal system

From child custody battles to competency hearings, the role of the
psychologist in law is growing rapidly. Whether working in the
legal context as an expert witness, evaluator, or consultant, it is
necessary for the mental health professional to maintain a very
high standard of documentation. This requires a detailed knowledge
of a large amount of forms, as well as their correct
preparation.

Now fully updated and revised, The Forensic Documentation
Sourcebook, Second Edition provides the most useful and current
forms for accurate and comprehensive documentation and record
keeping. These ready-to-use forms will save you and your practice
hours that would otherwise be spent creating and collating them,
freeing you to devote more energy to the important matters of the
case you are working on. A companion CD includes all documents in
Word format so you can customize them according to the unique needs
of your practice.

Covering every aspect of forensic mental health practice, this
fully revised Second Edition also includes:

* Two new chapters containing more than twenty forms for family
law consultation and neuropsychological assessment

* Completed copies of key forms illustrating the type of
information required

* Clear, concise explanations of the purpose of each
form-including when it should be used, with whom, and at what point
in the examination
