The go-to resource for clinical and forensic practice has now been
significantly revised with 85% new material, reflecting the tremendous
growth of the field. Leading authorities synthesize the state of the
science on symptom feigning in cognitive testing and present
evidence-based recommendations for distinguishing between credible and
noncredible performance. A wide range of performance validity tests
(PVTs) and symptom validity tests (SVTs) are critically reviewed and
guidelines provided for applying them across differing cognitive domains
and medical, neurological, and psychiatric conditions. The book also
covers validity testing in forensic settings and with particular
populations, such as ethnic and linguistic minority group members.
