The Forensic Documentation Sourcebook: A Comprehensive Collection of Forms and Records for Forensic Mental Health Practice [With CDROM]

This book is invaluable for anyone beginning a forensic psych practice. All the forms are easily adapted with your letterhead and are provided on disc. I have updated my contracts but other than that, still use most of the forms. I present a very professional file and am readily prepared for court. My disc did not work and after repeated attempts eventually went directly to the publisher. I was then sent an email attachment of the disc. It would have been very costly on many levels to have hired an attorney or to make errors on forms, or to not be aware of forms that were needed. Well worth the small amount for the wealth of aid to your practice.

Ok, so it doesn't take dictation. However, this book saved 100's of hours of work for me, in addition to raising procedural issues I'd not considered. A book of forms and organizers. Sound tedious? I would be if you had to create them all yourself. Book includes a CD with all of the forms copy-ready on it. Within Microsoft Word, I was able to redesign them to suit my practice, adapt them to my letterhead and put together packets of forms for different purposes. I hate office work. That is not why I entered forensic psychology. If you hate it too, buy this book.
