`In summary, Dr. Reynolds's latest book provides a readable and even practical treatise on the detection of malingering. Apart from being an invaluable tool for the forensic neuropsychologist, the principles outlined in the book are representative of good standard practice for understanding patient data, in or out of a forensic context. Choices in chapter themes and authors maintain diversity without straying from the main topics. ... the book is highly recommended for its informational content, clear cogent writing, and superb utility to forensic neuropsychologists. As a textbook or a general clinical resource, the book is an essential contribution to the field.'

Detection of Malingering during Head Injury Litigation

herausgegeben von Cecil R. Reynolds
Neuropsychologists and forensic psychologists have long lacked a systematic, scientific means of assessing head injury cases, of distinguishing those plaintiffs whose pain and suffering is real and deserves just compensation from those who are simply faking it. Cecil R. Reynolds and his expert contributors provide the first definitive work on this subject, focusing on problems that beset clinicians who are called upon to evaluate head injuries in civil courts. They describe the major malingering detection techniques currently in use.
