More DescriptionClinical neuropsychologists often have to evaluate individuals within a forensic context, and therefore must address questions regarding the possible presence of malingering. This volume offers a wide range of instructive real world case examples and presentations of malingering from expert forensic colleagues for the purpose of providing informed opinions on the topic.
