Widely used by practitioners, researchers, and students--and now thoroughly revised with 70% new material--this is the most authoritative, comprehensive book on malingering and other response styles. Leading experts translate state-of-the-art research into clear, usable strategies for detecting intentional distortions in a wide range of psychological and psychiatric evaluation contexts, including forensic settings. The book examines dissimulation across multiple domains: mental disorders, cognitive impairments, and medical complaints. It describes and critically evaluates evidence-based applications of multiscale inventories, other psychological measures, and specialized methods. Applications are discussed for specific populations, such as sex offenders, children and adolescents, and law enforcement personnel.<BR <BR New to This Edition<BR *Many new authors and topics.<BR *Thoroughly updated with current data, research methods, and assessment strategies.<BR *Chapters on neuropsychological models, culturally competent assessments, psychopathy, and conversion disorder.<BR *Chapters on psychological testing in child custody cases and in personnel selection/hiring.<BR <BR Less
