'I wish I had been accompanied by this authoritative textbook
during the 30 years I have spent assessing people in prison with
neurodevelopmental disorders. It's a comprehensive toolkit to help
and guide clinicians in this important and growing area. The need
has never been greater. This tome is comprehensive, authoritative,
practical, and accessible. A great addition to the scientific
literature.' Adrian James, President, Royal college of
psychiatrists and forensic psychiatrist
'There has been an increasing awareness for the forensic aspects
for people with neurodevelopmental disabilities (NDD). People with
NDD became more visible in the community with the closure of the
long stay institutions having also to cope with the demands of
everyday life. NDD can be presented with very complex needs
requiring specialist services. This remarkable and readable book
covers the existing gap in the knowledge, interventions and
supports for people with NDD and forensic aspects. It is also a
comprehensive resource for anyone who wants to understand the
issues involved for people with NDD and forensic aspects and a
useful tool for practitioners. The multidisciplinary approach of
the volume is commendable covering the wide range of forensic
aspects. The inclusion of some international approaches is of
particular interest.' Nick Bouras, Professor Emeritus of
Psychiatry, King's College London
'I find this book enlightening, as it sheds light on the
significant impact of neurodevelopmental disorders on the criminal
justice system. It is my hope that more information on this topic
will result in proper justice to such a vulnerable population.'
Aaron John Plattner, Doody's Reviews
