"I strongly recommend it to practitioners, researches and students alike in psychology, psychiatry, social work, the probation and prison services, law and policing." (Expert Evidence, Vol 15, 2001)

"..enjoyable and thought provoking, it is a positive contribution to the debate.." (Criminal Justice, Vol.1, No.2)

Juristen, Psychiater, Verhaltens- und Sozialwissenschaftler haben es in der Praxis häufig mit Klienten zu tun, deren vielschichtige Probleme nur durch gemeinsame Anstrengungen verschiedener Experten zu lösen sind. Entsprechend versucht dieses Buch, zwischen den beteiligten Fachleuten zu vermitteln, übereinstimmende Ansätze herauszuarbeiten und Lücken zu schließen. Eine Anregung und Anleitung zu interdisziplinärer Arbeit, die Mut macht! (06/00)
