Esta obra se constituye en una guía práctica para la realización de informes psicológicos forenses que analizan una pericia previa. Ofrece denominación e identificación conceptual de esta labor, lo que se materializa en la postulación del término metapericia; sintetiza criterios científicos, lineamientos y procedimientos para la praxis. En este libro se delinea un espacio que evidencia la identidad epistemológica, sintáctica, semántica y pragmática de la metapericia, un marco de referencia, una panorámica sobre su realización y controversias. Aporta al vacío de conocimiento internacional en dicho campo, pues no existe una obra didáctica que ilustre al perito para desarrollar esta labor. Adicionalmente, implica una construcción de conocimiento grupal de autores colombianos que genera puentes de trabajo colaborativo entre profesionales y agremiaciones, pues cuenta con el aval de la ALPJF y su representante.

This is the first major text designed to help professionals and students evaluate the merits of popular yet controversial practices in clinical psychology, differentiating those that can stand up to the rigors of science from those that cannot. Leading researchers review widely used therapies for alcoholism, infantile autism, ADHD, and posttraumatic stress disorder; herbal remedies for depression and anxiety; suggestive techniques for memory recovery; and self-help models. Other topics covered include issues surrounding psychological expert testimony, the uses of projective assessment techniques, and unanswered questions about dissociative identity disorder. Providing knowledge to guide truly accountable mental health practice, the volume also imparts critical skills for designing and evaluating psychological research programs. It is ideal for use in advanced undergraduate- and graduate-level courses in clinical psychology, psychotherapy, and evidence-based practice.

With a focus on real-world legal situations, the book offers guidelines for presenting scientific evidence accurately and effectively in courtroom testimony and written reports.

Psychological research can provide constructive explanations of key problems in the criminal justice system--and can help generate solutions. This state-of-the-art text dissects the psychological processes associated with fundamental legal questions: Is a suspect lying? Will an incarcerated individual be dangerous in the future? Is an eyewitness accurate? How can false memories be implanted? How do juries, experts, forensic examiners, and judges make decisions, and how can racial and other forms of bias be minimized? Chapters offer up-to-date reviews of relevant theory, experimental methods, and empirical findings. Specific recommendations are made for improving the quality of evidence and preserving the integrity of investigative and legal proceedings.
