Author Jonathan W. Gould compiles the literature on child custody evaluation into a coherent, logically integrated format that can be applied directly to practice. This empirically based book represents state-of-the-art forensic techniques in the rapidly changing field of child custody evaluation. The author questions whether this minority comprises a unique population that requires separate, uniquely developed intervention protocols.
