Editorial Reviews

Booknews
Integrates the multifaceted components of behavioral science literature and the law into a unified approach to child custody evaluations. The author discusses the role of the forensic child custody evaluator, a conceptual model for custodial assessment, the forensic interview of the parents, custodial determination, providing testimony in court, and report writing. The focus is on the commitment to craft child custody evaluations into empirically based, scientifically sound, legally admissible documents that serve the court. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
