Recenzje

Psychology and law is one of the most successful areas in applied psychology. It encompasses cognitive, social, developmental, personality and clinical psychology and covers a range of topics involving legal actors and decision makers at verious levels. Psychology and the law is also a field with a long and distinguished history that contemporary researchers are often woefully unaware of. Bornstein and Neuschatz's book is a wonderful addition because it seamlessly merges the historical with the contemporary. The volume provides a detailed historical analysis of the seminal work of Hugo Münsterberg with present day research in a variety of areas of psychology and law. It is a must have book that belongs on the bookshelf of any serious student of psychology and the law.
