Abstract:	Despite the extensive technical literature on forensic mental health, there is a lack of practical guidebooks dedicated to generating clear and persuasive forensic mental health reports. To address this dearth of writing guides, Greenfield and Gotsschalk present a practical handbook to assist mental health professionals at all levels of career development in their effective production of forensic reports. This practical and comprehensive guidebook provides a format for forensic reports, contains multiple examples of full and partial forensic reports, and is organized in a user-friendly, "how-to" style, to accomplish its goal.
