Emphasizing writing as communication for an audience, this guide for graduate students, clinicians, and experienced forensic psychologists begins with a psychological overview of the behaviors of writing and reading reports, then applies a psychological lens to various steps in assessment and forensic report writing. In addition to advice on choosing among various report formats, the book offers guidelines on neutral and bias-free writing, ethical practice, and legal pitfalls, and shows how to take culture into account when making assessments and recommendations. Two complete sample reports are provided. The authors are affiliated with the University of Denver's Graduate School of Professional Psychology.
