| Description: |
Neuropsychologists and forensic psychologists have long lacked a scientific means of assessing head injury cases, of distinguishing those plaintiffs whose pain and suffering is real and deserves compensation from those who simply fake it. This work focuses on problems that beset clinicians who are called to evaluate head injuries in civil courts. |
| Synopsis: |
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. |
