Description: This book explores how different social psychology theories and concepts can be applied to practice. Considering theories from attribution theory to coercion theory social identity theories to ostracism the authors offer a greater understanding and appreciation of the ways in which social psychology can contribute to forensic practice. The book argues that social psychology is useful for carrying out assessments (including risk assessments) formulations and interventions with clients in forensic settings as well as for psychological consultation training and the development of services. These theories are also important when understanding multi - disciplinary and multi - agency working staff client relationships and peer - to - peer relationships. Through illustrative composite case examples taken from the authors experiences in forensic settings the chapters demonstrate effective ways to pursue a theoretically informed practice. Exploring a broad range of theories and a timely topic Social Psychology in Forensic Practice will interest a wide readership including graduate and undergraduate students and researchers in criminology sociology and forensic social and clinical psychology. It will also be of practical use to health professionals and non - health professionals working in forensic settings as well as policy makers and others commissioning forensic services.
