Forensic Neuropsychopathology: Clinical and Medical Insights into Brain-Behavior, Mental Disorders, and the Legal System Vol. 2 - Hardcover

by Monique M. Chouraeshkenazi (Author)

Volume 2 of Dr. Chouraeshkenazi's groundbreaking series pushes the boundaries of forensic neuropsychopathology with an unflinching look into how the brain-and its breakdown-shapes legal responsibility. She leads readers through a bold exploration of how trauma, mental illness, and cognitive dysfunction challenge our understanding of competency, accountability, and justice itself.

This volume dives deep into the neuropsychological evaluation of legal competence and responsibility, the impact of brain injuries on behavior, and the often-overlooked role of mental disorders in criminal justice outcomes. It introduces cutting-edge neuromethodologies transforming forensic practice and revisits the legal frameworks and landmark cases that have redefined the intersection of brain science and law. Original, thought-provoking, and ahead of its time, Volume 2 is essential reading for those who seek to reshape forensic, clinical, and legal systems with science, ethics, and innovation at the core.
