Taylor & Francis Ltd The Rorschach in Multimethod Forensic Assessment
Book SynopsisThis volume demonstrates how multimethod forensic assessment with the Rorschach adds incremental validity, insight, and practical value. Case discussions by leading forensic psychologists illustrate the integration of contemporary Rorschach assessment with the MMPI-2 and MMPI-2-RF, the PAI, and the HCR-20. This text addresses a wide range of forensic applications including child custody, psychological trauma, personal injury, psychotic offenders, competency evaluations, immigration cases, and impression management. It also shows how the recently developed Rorschach Performance Assessment System (R-PAS) effectively enhances the use of the Rorschach in forensic cases, while offering guidance for Comprehensive System users as well. Trade Review“The contributors to this volume have done a masterful job of embedding Rorschach assessment in a multimethod approach to conducting forensic evaluations. Rorschach practitioners and forensic psychologists will value the information and guidance this book provides.”—Irving B. Weiner, PhD, University of South Florida Morsini College of Medicine.“Erard and Evans have assembled an invaluable and essential Rorschach resource for forensic psychologists. This volume aptly demonstrates what a performance-based test such as the Rorschach can uniquely bring to a variety of forensic psychological evaluations, as a compliment to the most commonly used self-report measures such as the MMPI-2 and PAI. For those testifying in court, this innovative volume also further establishes the empirical validity of the Rorschach-Performance Assessment System as the most advanced and scientifically grounded system available.”—Daniel Pickar, PhD, ABPP, private practice, clinical and forensic psychology, Santa Rosa, CATable of ContentsList of Contributors Preface Robert E.

Cambridge University Press Solidarity and Justice in Health and Social Care
Book SynopsisWritten for academics and policymakers working in health and social care, this timely book takes the debate on healthcare access beyond the usual framework of justice and rights. In particular, it analyses the importance of collective responsibility for the care of vulnerable and dependent individuals in society.Trade Review'In this book, with outstanding clarity, Ruud ter Meulen tackles a crucial, but complex and delicate issue, for both political and moral philosophy and policy-making in health care. … he offers a brilliant philosophical lesson that is also useful for his ultimate purpose: contextualising the concept of solidarity as he does, he enables us to see it as an answer to concrete issues and not as an ossified idea, inappropriate to deal with contemporary health care challenges.' Marie Gaille, EACME NewsletterTable of ContentsPreface; 1. Solidarity: backgrounds, concerns and claims; 2. The origins of solidarity as a sociological concept; 3. Solidarity and justice; 4. Solidarity and individual responsibility in Dutch health care; 5. Family solidarity and informal care; 6. Why we need solidarity.

John Wiley & Sons Inc Ethical Issues in Forensic Psychiatry
Book SynopsisEthical medical practice and treatment in psychiatry are based on the concept of first do no harm. However, this cannot, and does not, apply to forensic cases where there is no doctorpatient relationship and the forensic psychiatrist may indeed cause harm to the examinee. In this book, Robert Sadoff analyzes the ethical issues affecting forensic psychiatric practice, especially those promulgated by the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law. Within those guidelines, he looks at individual bias, vulnerability of the examinee, and potential harm to the mental health professional. The book discusses each of the procedures of the forensic expert separately with respect to minimizing harm. It has been written with an international audience in mind and features chapters reviewing the European and UK perspectives, by Emanuele Valenti and John Baird, respectively. Robert Sadoff addresses the long-term harm that can be either avoided or minimized through careful planning and applicationTrade Review"Sadoff's book is a vital contribution to the psychiatric literature, as it fills a need unaddressed by more theoretically oriented works. Anyone interested in mental health or medical ethics will find this text worthwhile, especially as it contains an introduction for lay readers explaining basic forensic roles and functions.The book is most valuable, however, to forensic mental health practioners, who will benefit from its practical instruction aimed at minimizing harm." (Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, December 2012) "Sadoff has crafted an admirable mix of facts and anecdotes, presented in a manner that could help undergraduates get a taste for the realities of forensic practice, help graduate students connect the theoretical with the practical, and even provide veteran practitioners with helpful reminders and provocative food for thought." (PsycCRITIQUES, 23 November 2011) "It will serve as a useful resource and is a welcome addition to my library." (Doody's, 11 November 2011) "While Ethical Issues in Forensic Psychiatry appears to be targeted at the forensic psychiatrist, as emphasised in the title, I believe that it can be valuable reading for all forensic mental health professionals. . . Ethical Issues in Forensic Psychiatry makes practical ethics easy reading. . . This book is an invaluable guide to ethical practice."

Chicago Review Press Clay and Bones: My Life as an FBI Forensic Artist
Book SynopsisWhenever Lisa Bailey sees a particularly striking person, she wonders, “What is going on under their skin?” It all started after Bailey took the FBI’s Forensic Facial Imaging Course and was introduced to facial approximation. Her fascination was instantaneous. As the only female forensic sculptor in the FBI, Bailey re-created the faces of unidentified homicide victims from their skulls. She worked on hundreds of cases and grew to become a subject matter expert in the field. The job was just as incredible as it sounds, and she loved every moment of it. Her life changed when new supervisors began subjecting her to extreme sexual discrimination and harassment. Her casework was sabotaged; she was berated in front of coworkers, cyber-stalked, slandered, and threatened physically. When the FBI ignored her repeated appeals for help, Bailey filed an Equal Employment Opportunity complaint. What followed was six years of retaliation. Ultimately, it was ruled that the FBI had discriminated against Bailey, but the men responsible escaped unscathed. Bailey came to believe that it was her obligation to speak up to expose the culture of discrimination and reprisal and help other women to protect themselves.Told with unflinching honesty and a touch of gallows humor, Clay and Bones is a memoir with a mission, and a fascinating exploration into the surreal and satisfying work of a forensic artist.
