"It is clear that the chapter authors are very knowledgeable in their areas. Readers get a good grasp of the topic, supplemented by excellent case examples." -- Doody's Life Sciences Book Review

"The psychiatric expert witness needs an up-to-date knowledge base to facilitate both appropriate applications of emerging science and the ability to recognize questionable transgressions. In Psychiatric Expert Testimony: Emerging Applications, Weiss and Watson offer a much-needed synopsis of commonly encountered emerging issues in forensic psychiatry... There are several excellent chapters, and the one on fMRI for lie detection by Octavio Choi is among them. Like most of the topics covered in the text, the subject is one that warrants both respect for powerful technology and impressive progress in terms of research findings, and consideration for persisting limitations and many unknowns. All said, Psychiatric Expert Testimony represents an informative and enjoyable text that will enhance the practice of forensic psychiatrists who read it." -- Hal S. Wortzel, M.D., American Journal of Psychiatry

"I recommend this book as an introduction to cutting-edge developments in psychiatry and the law, such as using neuroimaging in courts, evaluating children who have been victims of sexual abuse, weighing the impact of autism spectrum disorders on alleged criminal behavior, and assessing juvenile maturity for purposes of bindover to the adult justice system. It is a well-researched, highly readable, and timely exploration of new and important topics. It integrates current scientific knowledge with recent case law to provide practical advice to experts testifying in these new areas." -- Sherif Soliman, Journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law
