Building on what was already an outstanding volume (and one that I use for my graduate course in Forensic Assessment), the second edition provides greater breadth and depth, while still retaining the hands on feel of the first edition. It is a must-have volume for every burgeoning forensic clinical psychologist and a helpful resource for even the most experienced expert.-Barry Rosenfeld, PhD, ABPP, is Professor and Chair in the Department of Psychology as well as Adjunct Professor in the School of Law at Fordham University. Learning Forensic Assessment provides an introduction to a broad range of forensic psychological assessment issues. Many of the forensic experts from the first edition provide updated material in their areas of expertise and research. This updated material gives the reader a great primer to the forensic experts that have spent their careers researching and writing about forensic assessment as well as an introduction to the current state of the field in forensic psychological assessment.-Holly A.
