Clinical neuropsychologists frequently evaluate individuals within
a forensic context, and therefore must address questions regarding
the possible presence of reduced effort, response bias and/or
malingering. This volume offers a wide range of instructive
real-world case examples involving the complex differential
diagnosis where symptom exaggeration and/or malingering cloud the
picture. Written by expert forensic neuropsychologists, the
scenarios described provide informed, empirically-based and
scientifically-derived opinions on the topic. Issues related to
malingering, such as response bias and insufficient effort, are
discussed thoroughly with regard to a large number of clinical
conditions and assessment instruments. Test data and non-test
information are considered and integrated by the numerous experts.
Expert guidance for clinicians who must address the issue of
malingering is provided in a straightforward and well-organized
format. To date, there has not been a comparable collection of rich
case material relevant to forensic practice in clinical
neuropsychology.
