Review :
"This book clearly explains sophisticated nuances of DSM-5 diagnoses that will protect you from making errors on the witness stand. A must-have for all forensic clinicians." -- Phillip J. Resnick, M.D., Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, OH "Dr. Scott has provided a comprehensive, scholarly, and insightful review of the process of development of the DSM-5, the American Psychiatric Association's most up-to-date psychiatric diagnostic classification system, and the implications of the changes embodied in the DSM-5 for the field of forensic psychiatry. The chapter authors, experts in their respective fields, have applied their breadth of knowledge and expertise to the analysis of the DSM-5's changes as they relate to criminal, civil, disability, and educational forensic evaluations, including? the assessment of malingering. Dr. Scott has masterfully organized this volume such that it provides both in-depth information and practical guidance that will be of invaluable assistance to forensic psychiatrists in addressing the controversies associated with the DSM-5 that may arise in the courtroom and in incorporating DSM-5's changes into their forensic practices." -- Liza Gold, Georgetown University School of Medicine "This is the only work of its kind I have seen, and it provides a comfortable bridge between the functional changes associated with the DSM-5 and the effect they will have on completing forensic evaluations, both for civil and criminal matters. Chapters are well thought out and reasonably brief. The clinical vignettes help highlight the types of changes which could cause some practitioners difficulty. This is an impressive book that should prove to be a valuable resource for forensic practitioners or trainees." -- Steven T. Herron, Doody's
