"This practical book is easy to read, with helpful tables and figures, and gives readers a good sense of the consultation process. Its step-by-step approach will make it helpful to individuals who are beginning to do work in this area." (Doody's, 14 October 2011) <p> "Consultancy and advising in forensic practice covers a range of topics in relation to the involvement of psychological approaches in forensic work within the consultation process and training approaches . . . It is a practical guide and is very informative, and it is careful in its application of structures and theories,<br />and advises understanding theoretical knowledge and deliberation about the best approach for any given area." (British Journal of Occupational Therapy, 1 August 2011)<br /></p>

<i>Consultancy and Advising in Forensic Practice</i> addresses the current lack of literature relevant to undertaking a consultancy role within a forensic setting. Simultaneously drawing upon expertise from academia, business consultancy and administration, this edited volume presents the modern theoretical underpinnings of the consultancy process and applies a clear, practical approach that is targeted specifically at forensic issues and contexts. <p>Topics covered include the application of consultancy to operational crisis situations, and the role of the consultant in advisory capacities relevant to organisational effectiveness, such as strategic direction, cultural change, staff performance, and the management, development, implementation and evaluation of substantive organisational projects. Chapters draw on professional experience as well as formal literature, combining psychological, ethical, managerial and evaluative aspects into themed summaries that enhance the reader’s understanding and signpost directions for further study and practice development. </p>
‘This is an erudite text that takes the psychological client service model back a step or two and uses it to inform how consultant psychologists can work better with the organisations that fund their work. This is important since psychologists are generally trained in working with client's best interests in mind, but not in how to provide services with the organisation's interests in mind. This book provides guidance and practical advice on how to do the latter more effectively and comprehensively. <p>‘Organisations have responsibilities to deliver evidence-based services: psychologists have the skills to deliver the services, but need to be aware of and provide evaluation evidence that supports the over-arching values and needs of the organisations that hire them. Such evaluation evidence may indicate that changes are required; but then such changes would be defensible and evidence-based, and not merely a change for the sake of change. In sum, this is an excellent book for all consultant psychologists and I thoroughly recommend it as a core text for any practitioner's book shelf.’<br /> —<b>Douglas P. Boer,</b> Associate Professor of Psychology, The University of Waikato, New Zealand</p> <p>‘This innovative text has long been needed and makes a uniquely valuable contribution to forensic practice. It covers both theoretical and practical issues, and will be of great interest and value to all professionals working in the forensic arena.’<br /> —<b>David Farrington,</b> Professor of Psychological Criminology, Cambridge University, UK</p>
