  • CJB Origins, Subjects, and the Future

    Open AccessStanley L BrodskyARTICLECriminal Justice and Behavior2025

    The context for the development of the journal Criminal Justice and Behavior is described in terms of its predecessor publications and the zeitgeist of the time. Decisions were made in terms of international aspirations. Examination of the first volume identified article topics that have continued to draw attention 50 years later. The journal has morphed from a general emphasis on psychology and justice to a broader criminal justice focus, a shif…

  • Trauma-informed forensic mental health assessment: Practical implications, ethical tensions, and alignment with therapeutic jurisprudence principles

    Julie Goldenson, Stanley L Brodsky et al.ARTICLEPsychology Public Policy and Law2022

    The need for trauma-informed practice is well recognized across mental health and legal settings; however, relatively little has been written about its application in forensic mental health assessment. This paper focuses on trauma-informed assessment of criminal justice involved individuals, given the high rates of trauma exposure and related sequelae in this population. A trauma-informed lens allows forensic mental health examiners to assess exa…

Despite their growing popularity, both policy-makers and legal scholars question their moral and legal acceptability, particularly in presentence proceedings. The purpose of this paper is to assess the current role of ri…

    Stanley L Brodsky, Patricia A Zapf et al.ARTICLEJournal of Forensic Psychology…2001

    Psychological-legal aspects of competency for execution (CFE) were reviewed with respect to legal issues, ethical concerns, and assessment issues, and were then followed by ten practice recommendations.

Wainwright and the applications of the one-prong cognitive criterion and the two-prong criterion that included the capacity to understand and communicate reasons that the sentence mig…

  • When Infants Wail: Frustration and Gender as Variables in Distress Disclosure

    Lawrence B Stein, Stanley L BrodskyARTICLEThe Journal of General Psychology1995

    Gender and differences in self-disclosure following a frustrating event were investigated. The Emotional Self-Disclosure Scale assessed the extent to which 100 male college students and 100 female college students were willing to disclose their emotions. The frustrating stimulus presented was a tape of an infant crying, played at 85 dB for 10 min. Men exposed to the noxious stimulus were less willing to disclose than men who were not. All of the …

  • Development of a Litigaphobia Scale: Measurement of Excessive Fear of Litigation

    Open AccessFrances A Breslin, Kathryn R Taylor et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1986

    The present investigation was directed toward the development of a psychometrically sound instrument that would permit measurement and understanding of the phenomenon of litigaphobia. An initial item pool of 143 items was subjected to a Thurstone analysis. 47 items survived this screening for low ambiguity and uniform spread of tearfulness. These 47 items were administered to 123 physicians and psychologists in a six-point Likert format. The Kude…

  • Understanding and Treating Sexual Offenders

    Open AccessStanley L BrodskyARTICLEThe Howard Journal of Criminal…1980

    At the earliest stages of development of psychological theories of crime, a belief existed that each crime of violence was associated with a particular personality type or behavioural abnormality. The existence of the violent crime itself was considered prima facie evidence that a pattern of abnormality was present. Examination of contemporary writings and studies reveal that this search has been discarded and that few scholars believe that the r…

  • Self-Disclosure in Prisoners

    Open AccessStanley L Brodsky, George V KomaridisARTICLEPsychological Reports1968

    Self-disclosing behavior in prisoners may be viewed as indicative of identification patterns during “prisonization.” To 65 military prisoners in their first month of imprisonment, a modified Jourard Self-disclosure Scale was administered twice. Disclosure was not significantly related to psychiatric diagnosis, type of offense, or biographical variables. However, differences among confiding targets were significant. Data did not support the presen…
