Abstract

The concluding chapter of this edited book summarizes the overall purpose of book and aggregates the take-away points from individual chapters. Based on common themes highlighted in the assessment-specific chapters, this chapter discusses broader implications of using SNS and Internet-based data in the field of psychology-law and provides a more comprehensive set of practice recommendations designed to capture the unique challenges presented by online collateral sources. Finally, we propose directions for continued research with forensic clinicians, legal decision-makers, and the general public to improve our understanding about the prevalence of SNS and Internet sources in expert psycho-legal evaluations for the courts, as well as perceptions of these types of data that may influence clinical or legal outcomes.
