Clinical Assessment of Malingering and Deception: Second Edition

"Much has happened in this field in the past ten years, and every chapter of Richard Rogers' second edition reflects those advances. This review of research on malingering and deception, and on methods for their assessment, retains all of the qualities that made the first edition an indispensable resource for every mental health professional who performs clinical evaluations. Like the first edition, this book will be the authoritative benchmark on this topic for another decade." --Thomas Grisso, PhD, Professor of Psychiatry (Clinical Psychology) University of Massachusetts Medical Center

"This long-awaited update and complete revision of Dr. Rogers' 1988 Guttmacher-award-winning classic provides clinical and forensic professionals with the latest knowledge and research findings on malingering and deception. It brings the reader up to date on the burgeoning literature of dissimulation, testing, experimental methodology, and contemporary topics such as false memories, polygraphy, and hypnosis. Dr. Rogers and his very impressive list of contributors--from psychology, neuropsychology, psychiatry, and law--do not stray from their goal of practical integration of clinical practice and applied research in the field. They have given us a worthy successor to his earlier work." --Bill Reid, MD, MPH, Clinical and Forensic Psychiatrist; Past President, American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law; Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, University of Texas, Health Sciences Center; Former Medical Director, Texas Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation
