"This Casebook provides thoughtful perspectives on how best to resolve a broad range of ethical issues in forensic psychology. Forensic specialists at all levels of experience will value and benefit from having it on their shelf." --Irving B. Weiner, PhD, ABPP, Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neurosciences (Retired), University of South Florida

"This book will likely serve as a good refresher for practicing forensic psychologists, as an excellent and essential supplement to the education of forensic psychologists in training, and as an accessible and interesting resource for all practicing psychologists. It is written in an engaging and easily understood manner, it covers a broad range of topics, and it should assist all readers to be better prepared for their interactions with the legal system and for their work in forensic psychology." --PsycCRITIQUES
