The much-anticipated revision of Evaluating Sexual Harassment: Psychological, Social, and Legal Considerations in Forensic Examinations.

This completely updated second edition provides essential information to psychologists conducting evidence-based forensic consultation and other professionals who deal with sexual harassment cases in the era of

MeToo. Skillfully integrating relevant research with current case law, the book presents a method for comprehensively evaluating sexual harassment claims.

Authors William E. Foote and Jane Goodman-Delahunty acquaint readers with clinical and social scientific literature on sexual harassment and apply it to issues that psychologists must consider in preparing ethically sound and well-substantiated forensic reports and testimony.

The second edition is a valuable resource for all professionals working with sexual harassment cases, including psychologists, psychiatrists, lawyers, judges, and human resource professionals. Experienced forensic professionals will learn about the newest developments and most recent research in their field, while novice evaluators are provided with a tested framework fully grounded in research and sound practice.

The book will help human resources professionals understand how people amp rsquo s reactions in the workplace may result in harassment, and legal professionals will benefit from the summary of research on the scientific and factual bases for forensic evaluation of sexual harassment plaintiffs.

Reviews for Understanding Sexual Harassment: Evidence-Based Forensic Practice

Foote and Goodman-Delahunty have authored a remarkably useful text. This updated edition provides detailed coverage of clinical and legal considerations, along with a practical model for conducting (and assessing the quality of) forensic evaluations in sexual harassment cases.--Patricia A. Zapf, PhD, Palo Alto University, Palo Alto, CA, Clinical Forensic Psychologist, and Fellow of the American Psychological Association I recommend this book to forensic clinicians practicing in this area. The authors are respected experts in their specialties--one a social scientist/lawyer and the other a forensic clinician--and their review of the social science research and legal evolution of the area is deep and current, giving readers perspective and context.--Philip H. Witt, PhD, ABPP, Somerset Psychological Group, P.A., Somerville, NJ In this volume the authors lay out the broader social context in which sexual harassment takes place, the law and legal process, the social science that informs us about perpetrators and those they harass, and the investigation and evaluation processes. Mental health professionals, attorneys, human resources professionals, and others will find value in this book.--Randy K. Otto, PhD, ABPP, Department of Mental Health Law & Policy, University of South Florida, Tampa
