Neurological Malingering "Dr. Hirsch's book is long overdue and
covers a critical topic of concern to all medical practitioners.
This comprehensive treatise is a must for all physicians,
psychologists, and others who work with patients who have incentive
to gain from the system. Multiple topics related to malingering are
presented in 16 straightforward chapters never before compiled in a
single volume. I recommend this book highly to anyone concerned
about malingering and its impact on the medical system." - Richard
L. Doty, PhD, FAAN, Professor and Director, Smell and Taste Center,
Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania
"Malingering affects not only the malingerers, but the persons and
institutions around them as well. As a lay person, the readings
have certainly made me considerably more sensitive to suspect
behavior. And where knowledge of the underlying condition can
affect relationships or transactions one is associated with, it is
certainly useful to not only recognize its existence, but also to
put it within the context of the challenges that it presents to
those relationships or transactions. I count the time spent reading
this most comprehensive work as well spent. I would further
recommend it to others whose interests, decisions and/or
professional pursuits could very well be affected by malingering,
whether the behavior is or is not purposeful." - Judge Stephen A.
Schiller (Retired), Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois
