Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This book is a scientific approach to forensic neuropsychology, consistent with the Daubert ruling defining forensic expertise. It covers the scientific basis of forensic neuropsychology, productive attorney/neuropsychologist interactions, ethics of forensic practice, functional neuroimaging, malingering, pediatric brain injury, forensic assessment of medically unexplained symptoms, civil competencies in the elderly, and criminal competency and responsibility. This volume will be
an invaluable resource for neuropyschologists, attorneys, neurologists, clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, and their students and trainees.
Long description:
With increasing frequency neuropsychologists are being asked to serve as experts in court cases where judgements must be made as to the cause of, and prognosis for brain diseases and injuries. This book describes the application of neuropsychology to legal issues in both the civil and criminal courts. It emphasizes a scientific basis of neuropsychology. All of the contributors are recognized as scientist-clinicians. The chapters cover common forensic issues such as appropriate
scientific reasoning, the assessment of malingering, productive attorney-neuropsychologist interactions, and ethics. Also covered are the determination of damages in personal injury litigation, including pediatric brain injury, mild, moderate, and severe traumatic brain injury in adults (with an
introduction to life care planning); neurotoxic injury; and forensic assessment of medically unexplained symptoms. Civil competencies in the elderly persons with dementia are addressed a separate chapter, and two chapters deal with the assessment of competency and responsibility in criminal forensic neuropsychology. This volume will be an invaluable resource for neuropsychologists, attorneys, neurologists, clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, and their students and trainees.
...this is an amazingly informative book and comes as a boon to all forensic neuropsychologists. This book should find a place in the shelves of every forensic neuropsychologist - be he a beginner or an expert. Fully and heartily recommended.
