The breadth of the author's knowledge is nothing short of encyclopaedic. Not only psychology—developmental and social, as well as clinical—but also psychiatry, biology, philosophy, and law are addressed in this volume. Finally, the book is written with clarity, economy, and a lucid style. It is as inviting and user-friendly as any work of such complexity can be. I hope that it will find its way into psychiatry residency training programmes as well. It could do wonders for replacing turf battles with common ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCriminal Behaviour \u0026amp; Mental Health\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe scholarly breadth and accuracy of this work are remarkable. There seems to be no important contribution to our psychological understanding of crime which Blackburn has omitted to discuss, including those approaches from sociological and social psychology which are frequently neglected in straightforward psychological treatments. Moreover, all approaches are intelligently and sympathetically discussed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eExpert Evidence\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe volume is infused with the author's enthusiasm for a social cognitive perspective on offending behaviour, but he also robustly defends the utility of the notion of personality traits. Overall, this book brings together a vast array of research and theory examined from the perspective of the clinician involved with the individual. It will almost certainly become the key background text for post-graduate courses teaching forensic psychology and would be a valuable addition to the bookshelf of any clinician with forensic concerns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eClinical Psychology Forum\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is undoubtedly an important book.
