Neuropsychology of Malingering Casebook

Abstract

I have a confession to make. When I passed by this volume on a book display at a research conference, my first thought was, “Another casebook. On malingering. Gee, I see cases involving this issue day in and day out in my clinical practice and in my research. What would I learn from reading more malingering cases?” When I was invited to write a review of the book, I decided to give it a critical look and was humbled by the immense value of well-written clinical cases, such as those presented in Morgan and Sweet's edited book. The book provides valuable coverage, in case the presentation form, of the difficult conceptualization and assessment issues that arise when a neuropsychologist encounters probable invalid performance. Morgan and Sweet gathered together a series of experts well-grounded in the substantial science of malingering detection; in fact, some of them are heavy hitters in the malingering research realm. But the experts also apply that science and help the reader explore professional, legal, and ethical complexities in application of malingering research to clinical practice.
