Forensic Psychology Casebook: Using an Eco-Ethological Existential Analytic Approach explores the multifaceted relationship between forensic psychology and the criminal justice system. The text provides students with an understanding of the role of forensic psychology within a legal context through a casebook approach, blending theoretical and practical elements. It takes an eco-ethological existential analytic approach, giving a unique perspective on the field.

The book's content spans foundational concepts in forensic psychology, the dynamics of crime, and practical applications such as assessing a defendant's competency to stand trial, the function of expert testimony, the use of the insanity defense, and the intricacies of sentencing. It also addresses corruption, false confessions, and wrongful convictions. Through real-world cases, the book aids in translating theoretical concepts into actionable knowledge with an emphasis on the operational definition of forensic psychology, including its application to law enforcement and the impact on criminal behavior analysis.

Forensic Psychology Casebook serves as not only a primer to introduce readers to the field but also a resource that encourages critical thinking and practical application. It is an ideal resource for courses and programs in psychology, criminal justice, and law enforcement.
