Forensic Neuropsychology
Forensic Neuropsychology presents in-depth knowledge about brain function and the state-of-the-art techniques for the assessment of brain function in a legal (forensic) context. It also explores how successfully (or unsuccessfully) experts use this knowledge to defend the notion that my brain caused me to commit the crime in criminal and civil courts. This source book gives readers a panoramic view of the science, technology, and art and advocacy on brain disorders, crime, and personal responsibility. Author Jose Valciukas focuses on the difficulties of extracting accurate medical and psychological information from individuals who are motivated to suggest that there is nothing wrong with them or that everything is wrong with them. This is clearly illustrated through case histories woven into each chapter.
