Originally published in Spanish in 2017 by Libreria Bosch, Barcelona, the Atlas of Forensic and Criminal Psychology is a one-of-kind book made available in English for the first time. This unique work is highly illustrated with full-color images, providing a medico-legal examination of forensic pathology as it relates to cases of forensic psychological interest. The book begins with a historical perspective and includes images of patients to familiarize the reader with symptoms, the hazard-risk criteria, lethality, and suicidal rescue—research that Dr. Tiffon has addressed in his previous publications. Chapters present photographic records of cases to deepen forensic, psychologist, and medico-legal professionals’ insight into thoughts, behaviors, and mechanisms of self- and hetero-aggressiveness. Such cases illustrate the outcomes of various disorders manifested in individuals and victims; as such, they provide an understanding of the psychological-legal conclusions reached in such cases in order to adapt the legal and preventative measures for specific situations. Coverage includes affective, schizophrenic, and personality disorders as contributing elements in diagnostic judgments, noting the great difficulty such examples present to experts performing psychopathological evaluations after criminal, and often violent, events have occurred. Various psychopathological disorders are addressed as well as the technical treatment that should occur in each case from a psychological-forensic perspective. Features: • Presents a provocative look at various syndromes familiar to forensic psychologists, as applied to criminal cases and the pathology of suicide victims and homicide perpetrators • Combines the work of world-renowned expert contributors to examine the criminal, legal, and psychological facets of various diagnoses and case examples • Offers insight into the psychological state of suicide victims, considering their state of mind as a "psychological autopsy" In his previous books published in Spanish, Manual of Consulting in Psychology and Clinical, Legal, Legal, Criminal, and Forensic Psychopathology (2008), Manual of Professional Performance in Clinical, Criminal, and Forensic Psychopathology (2009), and the 4-volume Practical Criminological Atlas of Forensic Psychometry (2019-2020), Tiffon approached forensic psychology and psychopathology from a theoretical perspective. In the Atlas of Forensic and Criminal Psychology, his first book translated into English, Tiffon expands on these prior works, serving to provide a visual reference and guide to medical pathologists and consulting psychologists in cases of disorders in which psychopathological mutilation, injury, and self-injury occur.

La medicina legal española no se ha caracterizado, en general, por una destacada orientación anatomopatológica. Los aspectos clínicos y de laboratorio de la disciplina han tenido tradicionalmente una mayor preponderancia. Por el contrario, la Patología Forense ha sido la columna vertebral de la Medicina Legal o Forense en los países anglosajones. Por dicho motivo, a diferencia de lo que sucede en esos países, no existen en España textos específicos de Patología Forense y la bibliografía en español en este ámbito se encuentra limitada a la parte dedicada a estas cuestiones en los manuales y tratados de Medicina Legal, bajo la denominación, no muy actual, de Tanatología, o a las muy escasas y, en general, antiguas monografías sobre temas concretos. A fin de colmar esta laguna bibliográfica, los profesores de Medicina Legal de la Universidad de Santiago coordinados por el profesor don Luís Concheiro. Catedrático y Director del Instituto de Medicina Legal de la Universidad de Santiago de Compostela, han realizado la encomiable tarea de la traducción de esta obra al español, aunando con rigor los aspectos idiomáticos y técnico-científicos. No cabe duda de que existen otros magníficos textos de Patología Forense que merecen igualmente ser traducidos al español, pero pensando, en primer término, en los alumnos que cursan la asignatura de Medicina Legal en las Facultades de Medicina, la considerable amplitud de aquellos los hace poco recomendables como textos universitarios. Por otra parte, y a pesar de su aparente carácter conciso, este Manual de Patología Forense de Di Maio y Dana podrá ser también de utilidad para los profesionales de la Medicina Forense, pues contiene una notable cantidad de información muy acertadamente sistematizada por estos dos destacados representantes de la Patología Forense americana, que convierte a este Manual en un excelente libro de consulta rápida.
