Originally published in Spanish in 2017 by Libreria Bosch, Barcelona, the Atlas of Forensic and Criminal Psychology is a one-of-kind book made available in English for the first time. This unique work is highly illustrated with full-color images, providing a medico-legal examination of forensic pathology as it relates to cases of forensic psychological interest. The book begins with a historical perspective and includes images of patients to familiarize the reader with symptoms, the hazard-risk criteria, lethality, and suicidal rescue—research that Dr. Tiffon has addressed in his previous publications. Chapters present photographic records of cases to deepen forensic, psychologist, and medico-legal professionals’ insight into thoughts, behaviors, and mechanisms of self- and hetero-aggressiveness. Such cases illustrate the outcomes of various disorders manifested in individuals and victims; as such, they provide an understanding of the psychological-legal conclusions reached in such cases in order to adapt the legal and preventative measures for specific situations. Coverage includes affective, schizophrenic, and personality disorders as contributing elements in diagnostic judgments, noting the great difficulty such examples present to experts performing psychopathological evaluations after criminal, and often violent, events have occurred. Various psychopathological disorders are addressed as well as the technical treatment that should occur in each case from a psychological-forensic perspective. Features: • Presents a provocative look at various syndromes familiar to forensic psychologists, as applied to criminal cases and the pathology of suicide victims and homicide perpetrators • Combines the work of world-renowned expert contributors to examine the criminal, legal, and psychological facets of various diagnoses and case examples • Offers insight into the psychological state of suicide victims, considering their state of mind as a "psychological autopsy" In his previous books published in Spanish, Manual of Consulting in Psychology and Clinical, Legal, Legal, Criminal, and Forensic Psychopathology (2008), Manual of Professional Performance in Clinical, Criminal, and Forensic Psychopathology (2009), and the 4-volume Practical Criminological Atlas of Forensic Psychometry (2019-2020), Tiffon approached forensic psychology and psychopathology from a theoretical perspective. In the Atlas of Forensic and Criminal Psychology, his first book translated into English, Tiffon expands on these prior works, serving to provide a visual reference and guide to medical pathologists and consulting psychologists in cases of disorders in which psychopathological mutilation, injury, and self-injury occur.
Exploring the dynamics between victim and offender is paramount to answering important issues of character and vital for forensic research. This involves examining the role of the victim during and after victimization; this process is especially important for spousal violence because of the interactive process between the victim and the offender.Forensic Psychology of Spousal Violence covers the phenomenon of spousal violence and its different forms, discussing the consequences of abuse, providing research tips to be used in the field, including relevant case studies and much more. The innovative approach of this text fills a void in the current understanding of spousal violence. - Uses international statistics to present data of women battered and/or deceased to educate, change mindsets and practices and ultimately reduce the number of battered women and spousal homicides in the future - Includes current case studies - Includes best practices for spousal abuse investigations - Portable for use in fieldwork
En el año 2017, el Dr. Bernat-N. Tiffon publicó en la Editorial J.M. Bosch, su “Atlas de Psicología Forense (Penal)”. Dicha obra gráfico-visual supuso un hito, cuasi transgresor, en el campo de la Psicología Forense y Criminal al relacionar las consecuencias conductuales y victimológicas de los comportamientos agresivos y/o hostiles de los victimarios. Tal fue el alcance de esta obra que, en la actualidad, se está en espera de la inminente publicación de su versión inglesa para el mercado anglosajón. Después de este Atlas y de la “faraónica” obra completa en cuatro volúmenes sobre la Psicometría Forense (Editorial J.M. Bosch, 2019-2020), el Dr. Tiffon trabaja conjuntamente con el Dr. Jorge González Fernández realizando una nueva e innovadora obra que presenta una especial singularidad: nuevos casos criminológicos con ilustraciones fotográficas y visuales de la escena del crimen y de autopsias, y gráficas psicométricas para el análisis del perfil psicológico y/o psicopatológico del victimario. En esta ocasión, la simbiosis académico-profesional Médico-Psicológica (y Psicopatológica)representada por los autoresprocura un avance científico-investigador en la explicación delictual de las consecuencias conductuales de naturaleza criminológica o psicopatológica. Sin duda, la presente obra no dejará indiferente al lector de las disciplinas del Derecho, de la Medicina Forense, de la Psicología Criminal y Forense y de la Criminología. Como siempre, y desde la línea del estilo artístico-creativa y de innovación científico-investigadora del alma mater y autor principal de la obra (Dr. Bernat-N. Tiffon), nos encontramos nuevamente ante su mirada provocativa que originará en el lector procesos de reflexión sobre los distintos casos que se exponen en el cuerpo de este Atlas Forense Gráfico-Psicométrico: Perspectivas de la Psicopatología Criminal y Forense.

Forensic Criminology gives students of criminology and criminal justice an introduction to the forensic realm and the applied forensic issues they will face when working cases within the justice system. It effectively bridges the theoretical world of social criminology with the applied world of the criminal justice system. While most of the competing textbooks on criminology adequately address the application and the social theory to the criminal justice system, the vast majority do not include casework or real-world issues that criminologists face. This book focuses on navigating casework in forensic contexts by case-working criminologists, rather than broad social theory. It also allows criminology/criminal justice instructors outside of the forensic sciences the ability to develop and instruct a core course that might otherwise be considered beyond their expertise, or in conflict with forensic courses taught in chemistry, biology, or medical programs at their institutions because of its focus on criminology and criminal justice careers. With its practical approach, this textbook is well-suited for forensic criminology subjects being taught and developed in law, criminology, and criminal justice programs around the world. - Approaches the study of criminology from an applied standpoint, moving away from the purely theoretical - Contains relevant and contemporary case examples to demonstrate the application of forensic criminology - Provides an integrated philosophy with respect to criminology, forensic casework, criminal investigations, and the law - Useful for students and professionals in the area of criminology, criminal justice, criminal investigation, forensic science, and the law
