Imbued with humility, humanity, and humor, A Practical Guide to Forensic Mental Health Consultation through Aphorisms and Caveats equips future and practicing forensic mental health consultants with valuable insights "from the trenches." The book employs pithy observations, conditions, and limitations to the process, as well as covering the challenges and opportunities intrinsic to a forensic mental health consulting practice.

The nine chapters of the book follow the flow of the consulting forensic mental health process. The chapters feature a collection of aphorisms and caveats that frame and complement the discussion of each step in the process, from engaging with a potential consultee to preparing an effective report to testifying in court to collecting professional fees. Presented in a succinct and approachable way, the book is designed to help professionals avoid some of the inevitable pitfalls and land mines that might occur in a forensic mental health consulting practice.

Brief, valuable, and minimally technical, A Practical Guide to Forensic Mental Health Consultation through Aphorisms and Caveats is an ideal resource for new and experienced forensic experts alike.
