Forensic Documentation Sourcebook

From child custody evaluations to domestic violence situations to competency hearings, the legal system invariably requires accurate documentation provided by mental health professionals. Knowing what paperwork is necessary in a given case and putting it all in order can often be a daunting, time-consuming task. Now Theodore Blau, a pioneer in forensic psychology and the former president of the American Psychological Association, has compiled the most useful forms in one handy sourcebook - allowing mental health professionals to do their best professional work on the cases at hand. Providing blank, copy-ready forms - as well as completed versions of each form for reference - The Forensic Documentation Sourcebook helps prevent the type of errors and omissions that opposing counsels look for in court - errors that can lead to embarrassment and criticism at best, or criminal charges and civil lawsuits at worst.
