Recenzje

Review from previous edition This volume, encyclopedic in scope, consists of 324 pages of valuable information backed up by 1000 references. It also serves as a useful template for any group seeking to start a forensic treatment program. The information is clearly stated, explaining how practice is actually conducted every day by the average practitioner. The book is both a how-to and hands-on guide, yet erudite and scholarly . . . I highly recommend this text - in my opinion, without major flaws - as it provides an in-depth discussion of the major issues that clinicians encounter, both in individual practices and as team members in a community setting. It is likely to be difficult reading for those new to forensics, but with time and effort, much can be learned. Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, 65:6
