The application of clinical neuropsychology to forensic questions and issues is growing at a tremendous rate. This handbook covers the scientific and clinical neuropsychological advances and their application in forensic contexts.

To accomplish this goal, the handbook:

• presents the theoretical, statistical, and ethical foundations of forensic neuropsychology;
• describes current assessment measures and procedures employed in forensic neuropsychology, with an emphasis on their empirical evidence base;
• integrates recently published empirical literature involving commonly encountered disorders and special populations;
• describes reporting, admissibility, and testimony issues involving neuropsychology in forensic matters; and
• describes future directions involving the intersection of clinical neuropsychology and legal matters.
