This book shines light on the often-hidden work completed by psychologists in forensic settings. It follows on from Case Studies in Forensic Psychology (2019) and Further Case Studies in Forensic Psychology (2022).The case studies presented involve service users with varied presentations such as acquired brain injury and ADHD, as well as a variety of offending histories including sexual, terrorism-related, and violent offences. Chapters present the individual’s background, assessment or treatment completed with them, and discussion of the features of the case in the context of relevant literature. Some chapters detail informative and evidence-based discussion of the authors’ experiences working with particular groups including recommendations for others working in that field (e.g. assessment of clergy, so called ‘honour-based violence’, assessment of those with terrorism-related convictions). One chapter is co-produced with an expert by experience. The book demonstrates to readers the complex and individually responsive psychological work engaged in by clinicians and underscores the importance of considering diversity and individual presentation within this work. It brings together clinical practice in the context of models of treatment and research, to demonstrate application at an individual level.Case studies in Forensic Psychology: Diversity in Clinical Practice is key reading for psychologists, allied health professionals, and practitioners at any career stage. Students will also find this book useful, as will those interested in real-world clinical practice of psychologists in forensic contexts.
