Detecting Malingering and Deception

Offering readers specific steps to take when conducting a meaningful deception analysis, this book also provides a framework for integrating data from multiple sources. Virtually every chapter in this second has been updated with new studies and investigations from the past decade. The latest information is provided in such areas as post-traumatic stress disorder, amnesia, competency, criminal responsibility, and risk assessment. Several new chapters address not only the development of deceptive behavior in children, adolescents, and the elderly, but even in nonhumans. This is the single most comprehensive and thorough rendering of distortion analysis to date.
