Minds on Trial: Great Cases in Law and Psychology par Charles Patrick Ewing
Twenty quick, light chapters describing various legal cases in which psychology had a hand. Both fields have to think about causation and attribution. In addition, there is a gap between research and clinical psychology that can be hard for law to evaluate. I enjoyed it but think I'd need to engage with something more philosophical to get more out of it.
½Minds on Trial offers incisive yet dispassionate commentary on a diverse sampling of infamous U.S. court cases ranging from Mad-bomber Metesky, to the “Twinkie Defense” case, to Dahmer the cannibal, to alleged Judas Priest subliminal messages.
I can get bored/annoyed pretty quick, and out of 20 or so cases/chapters there wasn’t a single one that failed to engage me.
I’m surprised this book hasn’t garnered more notoriety, for it’s as entertaining as it is intelligent. Recommended for people interested in law, crime, psych, or media frenzy.… (plus d'informations)
