520 _aThis practical book introduces you to the roles and responsibilities of forensic psychologists, including the many ways they aid the legal system as expert witnesses, competency evaluators, criminal profilers, trial consultants, and in numerous other capacities. Lawrence S. Wrightsman, an acclaimed authority in the field, addresses both the opportunities and temptations inherent to forensic psychology, exploring ethical responsibilities such as promising clients too much and the danger of becoming an advocate rather than an objective scientist. - Back cover
