This book is a comprehensive analysis of the definitions, concepts,
and recent research on malingering, feigning, and other response
biases in psychological injury/ forensic disability populations. It
presents a new model of malingering and related biases, and
develops a "diagnostic" system based on it that is applicable to
PTSD, chronic pain, and TBI. Included are suggestions for effective
practice and future research based on the literature reviews and
the new systems, which are useful also because they can be used
readily by psychiatrists as much as psychologists. In Malingering,
Feigning, and Response Style Assessment in
Psychiatric/Psychological Injury, Dr. Young ambitiously sets out to
articulate and synthesize the polarities involved in the assessment
of response styles in psychological disabilities, including PTSD,
pain, and TBI. He does so thoroughly and very even-handedly,
neither minimizing the degree that outright faking can be found in
substantial numbers of examinees, nor disregarding the possibility
that there can be causes for validity test failure other than
malingering. He reviews the prior systems for classifying evidence
of malingering, and proposes his own criteria for feigned PTSD.
These are conservative and well-grounded in the prior literature.
Finally, the book contains dozens of very recent references, giving
testament to Dr. Young's immersion in the personal injury
literature, as might be expected from his experience as founder and
Editor in Chief for Psychological Injury and the Law. Reviewer:
Steve Rubenzer, Ph.D., ABPP Board Certified Forensic Psychologist
