Extract

Forensic Neuropsychology: A Scientific Approach. Glenn Larrabee (Ed.). 2005. New York: Oxford University Press, 479 pp., $68.50.

As a practitioner of the art and as an instructor for a course in “neuropsychology and the law,” I can assure you that all of my students will be assigned Larrabee's Forensic Neuropsychology in coming semesters. The editor and his co-authors have assembled a thoughtful and comprehensive introduction to a rapidly evolving area of science and practice. The unique contributions that neuropsychological assessment and an understanding of brain-behavior relationships can provide are fast becoming the rule, rather than the exception, in civil, criminal, and, sometimes, even probate litigation.
