Reviews

"Ira Packer and Thomas Grisso's book Specialty Competencies in Forensic Psychology
admirably fills an important need in describing the core competencies for forensic
psychology...Specialty Competencies in Forensic Psychology should be required reading for all graduate students who have interests in practicing forensic psychology. Likewise, it is a tremendous resource for practicing forensic psychologists and for other psychologists
wishing to seek diplomate status in forensic psychology." -- William Holcomb, PsycCRITIQUES
