About Clinical Practice Of Forensic Neuropsychology: An

Product Description Written by a foremost expert in the field, this hands-on, evidence-based guide describes how to conduct a comprehensive forensic neuropsychological evaluation and provide expert testimony. All steps are covered--from selecting, scoring, and interpreting tests to writing reports and responding to cross-examination--with special attention to assessing noncredible performance. The book identifies seven common flaws of forensic neuropsychological reports and shows how to avoid them. Excerpts from testimony transcripts illustrate ways neuropsychologists can protect their reports from attack. Also featured are case illustrations and a sample report. Review "This book is a rare find--a solo-authored work addressing an area of practice that is increasingly important to neuropsychologists. A prolific author, Boone has succeeded in directly and consistently imparting practical information on the involvement of clinical neuropsychologists in civil litigation. This book overflows with clinical wisdom learned the hard way, and is also squarely in keeping with today's emphasis on evidence-based practice. Boone presents exactly the kind of worldview and perspective that I try to instill in my residents."--Jerry J. Sweet, PhD, ABPP, NorthShore University HealthSystem; Clinical Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neuroscience, University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine "This book is not just a great resource for neuropsychologists--it should be read by every practicing forensic psychologist. Boone covers all of the 'hot topics' in forensic assessment in a logical, well-balanced, and most readable fashion. For example, her reviews of the assessment of malingering and posttraumatic stress disorder in forensic practice are spot on."--Jeffrey N. Younggren, PhD, ABPP, Clinical Professor, David Geffen School of Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles; risk management consultant, American Psychological Association Insurance Trust "From one of our most important author-researchers in forensic neuropsychology, this book delineates major issues facing neuropsychologists who engage in forensic practice. Boone provides an impressive level of detail, with an emphasis on examining symptom and performance validity. The studies that form the empirical foundation for her approach are comprehensively discussed. Essential reading for all who are interested in this area of practice."--Kevin J. Bianchini, PhD, ABPN, Jefferson Neurobehavioral Group, Metairie, Louisiana "The book delivers on the promise of its title--it is both rich with clinically focused guidance and grounded in the growing empirical evidence base. The linkage of practical information and published research makes this volume ideally suited to serve as a general reference for forensic neuropsychologists and a text for postdoctoral and graduate trainees."--Yossef S. Ben-Porath, PhD, Department of Psychology, Kent State University "Boone is widely recognized as an exemplary scientist-practitioner, making her optimally qualified to author this book. The book is unique in presenting a framework for conducting a forensic examination and providing sworn testimony, with a focus on civil practice. Boone's description of the evaluation process is linked to research and published professional standards to provide a basis for empirically grounded practice. The analyses of actual cases and critiques of opposing expert reports are also helpful. This book is a valuable resource for forensic practitioners at all levels, and is well suited as a text for an advanced graduate or postdoctoral seminar in forensic neuropsychology."--Glenn J. Larrabee, PhD, ABPP, ABCN, independent practice, Sarasota, Florida "An excellent resource on forensic practice in neuropsychology. What sets it apart from other books on the topic is its practical guidance and functional examples, essentially walking readers through the process from start to finish." , Doody's Reviews Published
