This unique book offers valuable insights into the often-hidden world of forensic psychological assessment and intervention. It follows on from Case Studies in Forensic Psychology (2019) and presents a range of detailed clinical case studies of adults and young people across secure and community settings. The case studies represent individuals with several different forms of offending histories, such as sexual and violent offending, and various clinical diagnoses including autism and acquired brain injury. Each chapter details the individual’s personal background, offending, any relevant psychiatric or psychological diagnoses, and treatments. The chapters end with an intensive discussion on the outcomes for that case, and its wider implications. This book allows the readers to understand the on-ground clinical practice and day-to-day role of a forensic psychologist by demonstrating the work undertaken behind the empirical research and highlighting the complexities to which psychologists need to apply their expertise. It also brings together treatment models and forensic research to establish how theory translates into practice and consider whether it is effective at an individual level.Further Case Studies in Forensic Psychology is key reading for psychologists, clinicians and practitioners at any stage of their career in this rapidly expanding field. It will also be useful for students of forensic psychology and those interested in the real-life work of psychologists in forensic practice.

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.
