Psycholegal Assessment, Diagnosis, and Testimony: A Bibliography

Abstract

The expanding interest in forensic psychology and psychiatry in both the theoretical and applied areas necessitates consideration of the developing literature. The authors view both theoretical and applied literature as the basis for further development of the field, including resolution of some of the difficult conflicts confronting courts, practitioners, and academicians. A bibliography of professional journal articles, law review articles, and books relating to psychological assessment, diagnosis, and testimony was developed to support the continuing growth of the field. The almost 200 citations include discussions of assessment and testimony techniques, diagnostic approaches, witness roles, competency determination, and examination.
