To use these instruments properly, professionals need an authoritative source of advice and guidance on how to administer, score, and interpret them. Now fully revised and in a second edition, Essentials of Forensic Psychological Assessment is that source. The Second Edition is completely updated to reflect current research and theory in the field, including the most recent codes and standards published by the American Psychological Association. In addition, this volume offers updated coverage of the most frequently used instruments in forensic psychological assessments, including the MMPI®-2 and MMPI-2-RF, PAI®, Rorschach®, ASPECT, and various neuropsychological assessment instruments. Like all the volumes in the Essentials of Psychological Assessment series, this book is designed to help busy mental health practitioners, and those in training, quickly acquire the knowledge and skills they need to make optimal use of major psychological assessment instruments. Each concise chapter features numerous callout boxes highlighting key concepts, bulleted points, and extensive illustrative material, as well as test questions that help you gauge and reinforce your grasp of the information covered. Written by a noted forensic psychologist, the Second Edition offers in-depth coverage of maltreatment and domestic violence, as well as the assessment of recidivism, fitness to stand trial, civil commitment, substance abuse assessment, custody evaluations, personal injury assessments, and many other aspects of forensic mental health practice. Review: Good Introductory Book & Reference - Essential's and Ackerman have done it again. This book is the perfect introductory book for forensic psychology and it makes an excellent reference for all levels. I am a psychologist and wanted to get an introductory taste to forensics because I've considered working myself into that area. This book touches on about everything, and the areas that it does not go in-depth with, you at least get a good feel of where/what you should investigate more into (i.e. what you should buy another book or journal article on). I would suggest buying the Kindle version and "flipping through" the pages. If the book does not touch on what you need it to, it can always be returned. Also, if you just prefer a hard copy, you can still return it and then just buy the hard copy! Review: Great Product - I had to order this book for a grad class and I really appreciated how affordable it was. The author explains assessments, when to use, et cetera extremely well and the chapters are broken into easily comprehensible sections. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #277,744 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #12 in Forensic Medicine (Books) #74 in Medical Psychology Testing & Measurement | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 64 Reviews | ## Images ![Essentials of Forensic Psychological Assessment - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71uaDBIu5vL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Introductory Book & Reference *by B***Y on July 2, 2018* Essential's and Ackerman have done it again.

The author explains assessments, when to use, et cetera extremely well and the chapters are broken into easily comprehensible sections. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Glad I purchased *by E***S on July 21, 2017* To me it's a little more of an easy reference book than a text (only my opinion of course). I find the chapters to be broken down well and easy to understand even for those without a background in subject. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ie/products/5748788-essentials-of-forensic-psychological-assessment](https://www.desertcart.ie/products/5748788-essentials-of-forensic-psychological-assessment) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ireland* *Store origin: IE* *Last updated: 2026-07-08*
