Reviews
In Psychiatric Expert Testimony: Emerging Applications, Weiss and Watson have assembled valuable contributions on contemporary topics related to many of the scientific advances of the last two decades. From the general (e.g., human development and criminal culpability; autism spectrum disorders and criminal justice) to the specific (e.g., fMRI and veracity; sleep disorders and criminal responsibility), these chapters are well-chosen for their relevance to hard questions directed toward forensic mental health experts. This is a very useful book for informing legal practice with science. * Kirk Heilbrun, PhD, Drexel University *
A comprehensive and contemporary consideration of the role of expert testimony in civil and criminal cases, focusing on cutting-edge issues that, until now, have screamed out for this sort of careful and thoughtful analysis. Drs Weiss and Watson and their colleagues have done a superlative job. * Michael L. Perlin , Professor of Law, New York Law School *
This work offers a concise description of much of the recent research in the noted areas and, more importantly, how this translates into practical use for clinicians regarding court testimony. * Doody's Notes *
