"Overall, this text is excellent, beautifully formatted, and
contains many chapters on mild traumatic brain injury that would
prove helpful to professionals working in this field. While the
text is probably most suited for a graduate level class in a
university curriculum, I think it would be an excellent resource
for the practicing professional's library--the forensic expert, the
life care planner, or the rehabilitation counselor."--The
Rehabilitation Professional
" This] book will provide a valuable resource to
neuropsychologists and non-neuropsychologists alike for many years
into the future as the primary, one-stop shopping bank vault of
information relating to symptom validity assessment in the very
specialized world of mild traumatic brain injury."--Psychological
Injury and Law
"The book is well written, engaging, and easy to read. It goes
well beyond simply reviewing validity test literature, as numerous
clinical issues related to both mTBI and validity testing are
discussed, validity assessment in multiple clinical and forensic
settings is described, and up-to-date research findings are
provided. I would recommend this book to any clinician (or
clinician in training) who wants a practical guide specifically
devoted to integrating validity assessment techniques and outcomes
into clinical work."--Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology
"This edited book is clearly the best in the field among the
several that have just come out on the topic. The chapter authors
are leaders in the field, and touch all important areas. The
chapters form a logical sequence that make learning about the field
easier, are well-written, and are filled with up-to-date scientific
findings that will help practitioners navigate well this difficult
area of neuropsychological forensic practice. I recommend the book
without reservation and am sure it will be useful in guiding
neuropsychological assessments and preparations for court." Gerald

"This book provides an excellent, singular shelf reference on
the influence of motivational factors and the importance of symptom
validating testing in the neuropsychological assessment of mild
traumatic brain injury It] marks an essential resource for those
who see patients with mild traumatic brain injury." Michael McCrea,
PhD, ABPP-CN

"This outstanding volume is a unique contribution to the
neuropsychologist's library, bringing together two of our most
important and timely topics in one text: MTBI and validity
assessment for effort, response bias and malingered symptomology
This will be an important resource for some time to come and
deserves a prominent place in every neuropsychologist's library."
Joel E. Morgan, PhD, ABPP-CN
New Jersey Medical School
This authoritative volume is the first book specifically devoted
to symptom validity assessment with individuals with a known or
suspected history of mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI). It brings
together leading experts in MTBI, symptom validity assessment, and
malingering to provide a thorough and practical guide to the
challenging task of assessing the validity of patient presentations
after an MTBI. The book describes techniques that can drastically
alter case conceptualization, treatment, and equitable allocation
of resources. In addition to covering the most important symptom
validity assessment methods, this timely volume provides guidance
to clinicians on professional and research issues, and information
on symptom validity testing in varied populations.
The book covers MTBI assessment in such specific settings and
populations as clinical, forensic, sports, children,
gerontological, and military. It also addresses professional issues
such as providing feedback to patients about symptom validity,
ethical issues, and diagnostic schemas. "Mild Traumatic Brain
Injury "will provide neuropsychologists, referring health care
providers, courts, disability insurance companies, the military,
and athletic teams/leagues with the in-depth, current information
that is critical for the accurate and ethical evaluation of MTBI.
Key Features:
Provides in-depth, expert coverage of one of the most critical
topics for clinical neuropsychologists Includes contributions from
the leading authorities on both MTBI/post-concussive syndrome and
malingering/symptom validity Covers assessment in such contexts as
civil forensics, sports, military/veterans, and gerontological
settings
