Encompassing a wide range of treatments, roles, specialized practices, research, and diagnoses, the Handbook of Forensic Mental Health With Victims and Offenders will guide practicing professionals through the forensic social work issues they encounter on a daily basis, such as:
- Prevention of prisoners’ sudden deaths
- Expert witness testimony in child welfare and women battering
- Treatment of dually diagnosed adolescents
- The overrepresentation of African-Americans incarcerated for juvenile delinquency
- Jail mental health services for adults
- Drug courts and PTSD in inmates with substance abuse histories
- Recidivism prevention
- Basic tasks in post-trauma intervention with victims and offenders
- Culture and gender considerations in restorative justice
Edited by Dr. Albert R. Roberts and Dr. David W. Springer, with contributions by leaders in the field, this handbook should top the list of must-have publications for all forensic social workers.
