Widely used by practitioners, researchers, and students—and now thoroughly revised with 70% new material—this is the most authoritative, comprehensive book on malingering and other response styles. Leading experts translate state-of-the-art research into clear, usable strategies for detecting intentional distortions in a wide range of psychological and psychiatric evaluation contexts, including forensic settings. The book examines dissimulation across multiple domains: mental disorders, cognitive impairments, and medical complaints. It describes and critically evaluates evidence-based applications of multiscale inventories, other psychological measures, and specialized methods. Applications are discussed for specific populations, such as sex offenders, children and adolescents, and law enforcement personnel. New to This Edition • Many new authors and topics. • Thoroughly updated with current data, research methods, and assessment strategies. • Chapters on neuropsychological models, culturally competent assessments, psychopathy, and conversion disorder. • Chapters on psychological testing in child custody cases and in personnel selection/hiring. Reviews: “This is an excellent book written by experts in the field. It covers deception in various populations, along with both psychological and medical illnesses. The fourth edition is justified because of the new chapters on neuropsychology and cultural assessments, along with revisions in the remaining chapters. *****!” —Doody's Review Service “With the addition of the neuropsychological perspective, this fourth edition includes everything a legal or clinical practitioner needs to know about the state of the art in deception detection. The assembled authors are impressive, and Rogers and Bender are acknowledged leaders in the field. Do not go into court in a case involving behavioral science issues without consulting this book.” —Christopher Slobogin, JD, LLM, Milton Underwood Professor of Law, Vanderbilt University Law School “Among mental health professionals, malingering is reminiscent of the quote attributed to Mark Twain: 'Everyone talks about the weather, but no one does anything about it.' This classic volume is one of the few works to do anything about the problem of malingering, and it does so authoritatively and comprehensively. The fourth edition adds coverage of the problems posed by dissimulation in individuals with psychopathy and conversion disorder, as well as in neuropsychological and custody contexts, making it certain to be even more of a go-to resource than ever for researchers and clinicians.” —Scott O. Lilienfeld, PhD, Samuel Candler Dobbs Professor of Psychology, Emory University “The premier work on malingering and deception just got better! The fourth edition of this classic book provides up-to-date, insightful coverage of one of the most important topics in forensic mental health assessment. Rogers and Bender have assembled a world-class cast of contributors with broad research and clinical expertise. The fourth edition includes new chapters on cutting-edge topics, including neuropsychological models of feigned cognitive deficits, psychopathy, child custody, personnel selection, and more. This book is both scholarly and practical, which makes it attractive to students and experienced professionals alike. This is much more than a 'bookshelf' book—it is essential, indispensable reading for those who are or will be involved in conducting forensic mental health assessments.” —David DeMatteo, JD, PhD, ABPP, Department of Psychology and Thomas R. Kline School of Law, Drexel University “Clinicians and forensic practitioners will welcome the fourth edition of this book, particularly in the face of growing concern about the liability that may attend unwarranted use of the ‘malingering’ label. The stellar cast of contributors explores the terrain sensitively and with scholarly incisiveness, assuring the book's appeal to forensic psychology and psychiatry trainees.” —Ezra E. H.
