Riassunto

The field of forensic psychology has traditionally been associated largely with forensic mental health evaluations prepared for consideration by courts and other entities, and far less attention has been paid to the development and dissemination of services and interventions that may be informed by such assessments. As a result, the majority of practitioners do not know how to go about pursuing such professional opportunities.

Responding to this need for more community-based services for justice-involved individuals and the lack of coordination, The Path Forward presents a detailed survey of different focus areas of professional forensic practice within community settings. These projects and psychological services are creative, expand boundaries, and offer a roadmap and a vision for the future of these areas as well as broadening awareness of what these services and projects are actually providing.

Covering the domains of assessment, intervention, consultation, and education, and written by leaders in the field, this edited volume offers detailed information about the development and delivery of key innovations and provides an excellent model for students, trainees, practitioners, clinical administrators, and others interested in cutting-edge work in this area.
