"'Try to write every report as if you were going to have to defend it in court,'" said Professor Jake Sines to my first-year Psychological Assessment course. We students looked at one another in trepidation and then spent the rest of our professional lives trying to live up to that standard.In editing the first and (so far) the only book on Pediatric Forensic Neuropsychology, Sherman and Brooks just made the goal more clearly defined, and more attainable. They drew upon many of the foremost experts in the field to instruct us from an evidence-based, scholar-practitioner perspective...in key issues and pitfalls of forensic neuropsychological work with children and adolescents. Beyond being a textbook to absorb and reflect upon, Pediatric Forensic Neuropsychology provides a downloadable 'Toolbox' of templates for communication with attorneys, parents, and teachers" --Karen E. Wills, PhD, ABPP-CN, Children's Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota, "This is the first volume devoted to the unique issues and challenges of forensic neuropsychology practice with children. The content is comprehensive, covering critical issues (statistical, clinical, and legal) across a variety of neuropsychologist roles and forensic venues. The author listis a veritable Who's Who in pediatric and forensic neuropsychology. This is sure to be the next 'desk reference' in our field." --Philip S. Fastenau, PhD, Professor and Director of Clinical Neuropsychology, Department of Neurology, Case Western Reserve University, "Providing expert assessment advice in forensic neuropsychology with children requires a high level of specialized skill. The editors have assembled a superb international group of experts in pediatric psychology to guide readers across this challenging terrain with excellent coverage of keyproblem areas and several helpful sample documents and checklists. It will prove an invaluable resource for anyone undertaking forensic assessment of a neurologically compromised child." --Gerald P. Koocher, PhD, ABPP, Associate Provost and Professor of Psychology at Simmons College, This book is highly recommended for anyone engaged or thinking about engaging in pediatric forensic neuropsychology. There is unparalleled coverage of oft-forgotten issues in assessment that will assist clinicians under scrutiny, and the information is frequently specific to pediatric evaluations without being redundant or generic, as tends to be the case with so many forensic books. 5 stars!, "This is the first volume devoted to the unique issues and challenges of forensic neuropsychology practice with children.
