Forensic Psychology Book of The Month (March)
Category: School, College, Greek

Insanity: Murder, Madness, and the Law by Charles Patrick Ewing



Book Description

In this book, Professor Ewing tackles the most complex of all legal/psychological issues: the insanity defense. It has been employed thousands of times, but there is still little understanding by lawyers and psychologists of its proper use.

By analyzing some of the most well-known insanity cases in legal history, this book sheds light on the particularities of this defense; when it is successful, and when it is a sham. The casebook is an established format in which to illuminate legal questions, and yet no such book exists yet for this topic. Professor Ewing will examine 20 of the most influential and controversial insanity cases, from the recent D.C. sniper trial to Jack Ruby’s failed plea in his trial for the assassination of Lee Harvey Oswald.

The cases are all carefully chosen to illuminate different ways in which the courts have handled this defense. Throughout, the author will add his own analysis of the cases and the reasons for the verdict. This book will be an excellent introduction to the subject for students of law or forensic psychology, and a concise overview of the issues at stake for professionals in the field.

Exploring Psychology: What is your relationship style?
Category: School, College, Greek

With Valentine's day just a couple of weeks away, now might be a good time to explore the psychology of love to find out more about your relationship style.

You can do this by taking part in an online experiment which employs the latest developments in psychometric and psychological testing to help further our understanding of how and why we love.

The test is introduced as follows:

WHAT IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP STYLE?

Ever wondered what kind of relationship you have? Your personality plays a big part in shaping your romantic preferences and psychologists have come up with a "syntax of love" to classify people on the basis of their romantic relationship style.

This experiment was designed by Dr. Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic (Goldsmiths) and Prof. Adrian Furnham (UCL) and takes only 5-minutes. If you answer all the questions you will find out about your personality and relationship profile. If you are not currently in a relationship, you can still take the test: Just answer the questions on relationship thinking of your previous or most important past relationship.

When you finish you will receive instant feedback on your scores.

Fancy Doing The Test?
