"Taken together, this is not the multi-volume set that discourages reading through its sheer size. In fact, it draws the reader in and is hard to put down. In all, the editors clearly kept the brain in mind (to borrow a pun) when constructing this set. Having clearly learned the lessons of their own subject material, it is by far the most comprehensive yet user- friendly resource in this area to date." - David S. Prescott, LICSW, Fellow and Past-president, The Association for the Treatment of Sexual Abusers

"Across the 2 volumes the editors have drawn together the broadest expertise in the field and produced what is in my view an accomplished and masterful exposition of the field of Forensic Neuroscience. In my view this book is long overdue in seeking to draw together the variety of strands that we will have all considered in our practice: albeit in an at times disparate fashion. Being able to make reference to a series of expert sources, across aspects of a presenting case in one place is of great benefit.

... a must have for all on their 'pre order' Christmas list!" - Martin Fisher CPsychol AFBPsS CSci Hon. MBPsS Europsych, Forensic Update Co-Editor

"The volume successfully combines the various authors' academic prowess and the years of practitioner and research experience that the accomplished editors bring with them. This means that the book charts out the origins of neuroscience in forensic settings right from the phrenology days to good old Phineas Gage and the 'social brain'. This handbook is, therefore, an essential text for anyone looking to know the current status of forensic research at the basic, intermediate and advanced level across multiple forensic settings. Something for everyone!" - Aarohi Khare, Doctoral Researcher, University of Kent
