While most psychologists working in forensic contexts aspire to practice in a manner consistent with the highest ideals of ethical practice, they face numerous and complex concerns and may be unclear about how to apply the Ethics Code and Specialty Guidelines for Forensic Psychologists to their real-world issues.

In Ethical Practice in Forensic Psychology, Shane S. Bush, Mary A. Connell, and Robert L. Denney explore common ethical dilemmas forensic psychologists may encounter in procedures including referrals, evaluations, documentation of findings and opinions, and testimony and termination. The authors present and apply a practical ethical-decision making model to timely case vignettes in the areas of civil, criminal, and child/family law to demonstrate how to approach the ethical challenges faced in forensic psychology; they also offer suggestions for addressing potential ethical misconduct by colleagues.

This balanced and comprehensive volume will be a valuable addition to the library of forensic psychology students and trainees, and career forensic psychologists.

CHOICE Review

Bush, Connell, and Denny discuss all the ethical issues present forensic psychologists face and all aspects of the forensic psychologist/client role, beginning with the referral and extending throughout the professional relationship. Legal arenas covered include criminal law, civil law, and child/family law. The authors also provide solutions for addressing ethical misconduct after it has been identified. An appendix contains the ethical standards and code of conduct for psychologists for easy reference. This interesting, well-written book is required reading not only for those studying forensic psychology but also for those working as forensic psychologists and those in related social sciences. ^BSumming Up: Recommended.
