The congruencies between psychology and law are explored in this collection of learning objectives, exercises, and reference material that addresses the intersection of these two disciplines. In addition to practical topics such as crime and policing, the detection of deception and truthfulness, dangerousness and the risk of violence, and the employment of the psychologist as expert witness, it also discusses modern moral issues such as the role and treatment of child witnesses in legal proceedings, investigative psychology and psychological profiling, and the use of insanity and diminished capacity defenses.

Whether mapping the cartographer's obsessive-compulsive disorder, or an anthropomorphized noodle, or love's disconnections, Andrea Cohen's witty, elegant poems and their subjects go way out on a limb. Hers is a deceptively breezy voice that doesn't let the reader escape the dark knowledge of human contingencies. The Cartographer's Vacation has much to tell us about our language's animated flow, its tow and undertow. By joining the pleasures of her cool, intellectual surfaces to a tone of emotional urgency, Cohen creates a surprising, particular, inimitable art. In line after shapely linenot to mention a pair of prose poems that give a good name back to that much-abused formCohen evinces an imagination 'strangely prepared for everything.' That's how one of her speakers describes herself; that's the way to describe this remarkable first book.

Andrea Cohen's poems and stories have appeared in The Atlantic Monthly, The Threepenny Review, Glimmertrain, The Iowa Review, Memorious and elsewhere. Her first poetry collection, The Cartographer's Vacation, received the Owl Creek Poetry Prize; other honors include a PEN Discovery Award and Glimmertrain's Short Fiction Award. She directs the Blacksmith House Reading Series and writes about marine research at MIT. "...an ideal and recommended introduction for those new to her poetic style, and a welcome update for those previously familiar with her work..."--Midwest Book Review. "For a poet with Cohen's gift, it must require immense control to stop once she starts. When Cohen turns to a topic like 'Current Events,' she swerves away from the expected meditation on today's headlines and begins to catalog a simpler kind of current event instead."-Rain Taxi Review Summer 2010

Mentally disordered offenders (MDOs) have dominated the recent political agenda for mental health care emphasised by cases such as those of Christopher Clunis and Michael Stone. Yet successive governments have constrained the development of all health and social services by the requirement that they must be demonstrated as capable of benefiting those to whom they are applied.This book analyses the development of government policy for services for MDOs since the important Butler report in 1975 and provides a theoretical framework for adjudging research which purports to demonstrate a need and outcome. Finally, it emphasises the subjective and value-laden nature of all needs assessments and their interpretation and poses the crucial questions of whose need it is that we address through MDO services, those of the patient or of society.This book will be valuable to clinicians and researchers working in mental health services, policy-makers, service commissioners and managers.

Assessing Forensic Mental Health Need: Policy, Theory and Research

Lyric compression and a wonderful command of the plain style make Andrea Cohen one of a handful of poets who can make her voice the conscious echo of her mind. And it's a mind well furnished with whimsy, heartbreak, and moral questioning, a mind brilliantly attuned to the tragicomic, Kafkaesque nature of the day to day. ""These wonderfully human and inventive poems captivate and charm.""-Booklist, August 2011

Kentucky Derby (Salmon Poetry)

The poems in Furs Not Mine display Andrea Cohen’s masterful craft and lyricism and her keen wit. In Cohen’s elegiac shoals, we see how “Great griefs are antidotes / for lesser sorrows,” and in her strange, surprising narratives, we glimpse a man darting into traffic for a hubcap, “meaning to build his dream / vehicle from scrap.” These poems, too, have the feel of dreamy constructions, in which bliss “from a distance, can look like pain.” That’s the magic of this collection: it holds loss and promise in the same image―sometimes even the same word.

Furs Not Mine

Four Way Books

Andrea Cohen’s poems search the shadow regions of yearning and loss, but they take surprising, sometimes meteoric leaps, landing in a place where brightness reigns. The voice in Unfathoming strives to upend the title: to both acknowledge mystery, and with wile and grace, comprehend it.

Unfathoming

The poems in Andrea Cohen’s Nightshade, her sixth full-length collection, are constructed from the wisdom of loss—of lovers and loved ones and a world gone awry. Cohen builds a short poem the way a master carpenter does a tiny house, in lines that are both economic and precise, with room enough for sorrow and wit to exist comfortably in their spaces. The great pleasure in reading these poems is their surprise in the way the endings arrive again and again in startling truths: The bride whose dress is sewn “from a hundred/tattered flags/of surrender” and the ever-present reminder of the title poem that the things of this world are both “poison and . . . balms” that “We /call . . . bitter- / sweet––what / living isn’t?”

Nightshade

The poems in&nbsp;Everything,&nbsp;Andrea Cohen's seventh collection, traffic in wonder and woe, in dialogue and interior speculation. Humor and gravity go hand in hand here. Cohen's poems have the rueful irony of a stand-up comic playing to an empty room. But look around: there are wrecking balls, zebras, lovers, milk money. It's a room to hang around in.

Everything

About Andrea Cohen's poems, Christian Wiman has said: "One is caught off guard by their cumulative force. This is work of great and sustained attention, true intelligence, and soul." In The Sorrow Apartments, Cohen's eighth collection, those signature gifts are front and center, along with sly humor, relentless economy, and the hairpin curves of gut-punch wisdom. How quickly Cohen takes us so far: &nbsp; <div>Bunker What would I think, coming up after my world had evaporated? I'd wish I were water.</div> The Sorrow Apartments is home to spare and uncanny lyricism--as well as leaping narratives of mystery and loss and wonder. These poems race at once into the past and the possible. And yet, instead of holding things up to the light for a better view, Cohen lifts them to the dark and light, as in "Acapulco," where an unlikely companion points out, "as men tend to, / the stars comprising Orion's belt -- / as if it were the lustrous sparks and not / the leveling dark that connects us." For a poet who has been called unfashionable from the get-go, unfashionable never looked so good. &nbsp;
