Book Description

Publication Date: November 10, 1995 | ISBN-10: 1574440233 | ISBN-13: 978-1574440232 | Edition: 1st

This book is the culmination of more than 20 years of study, research, and the direct evaluation of thousands of forensic clients. The authors provide the reader with the highest caliber of professionalism and make clear that the current state of the art in deception analysis is crude to say the least. They challenge readers to closely examine their own decision processes in regard to deception. And they admit that they have no sympathy for the common complaint that proper deception analysis requires much time and effort, which can be a burden to the busy professional. They make clear that the days of administering an MMPI and a Rorschach to a client and thereby knowing everything there is to know about that person are gone forever.

Editorial Reviews

Review

The culmination of more than 20 years of study, research and the direct evaluation of thousands of forensic clients, this book points out the crude current state of the art in deception analysis. Here are guidelines for detecting distortion that clarify the point that simply administering an MMPI and a Rorschach and gaining full insight to a client is no longer adequate. General aims of this book is to summarize current distortion detection information, present guidelines for detecting distortion, account for the variable accuracy rates of different detection methods, and stimulate additional research. -- From the Publisher
