This book was released on 2014 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The intent of this study was to cross-validate a previously evaluated assessment tool designed for the purpose of detecting genuine from feigned PTSD as well as to provide some of the first data exploring the effects of coping style, resilience, and social support on one's ability to feign PTSD. PTSD is a highly compensable disorder of which diagnosis is largely dependent on the subjective report of associated symptoms, making it particularly susceptible to malingering. Malingering, often viewed by mental health professionals as an antisocial act, can have severe consequences for the individual who is detected as feigning. More recent theories, however, have noted the potential utility of malingering under specific circumstances and have suggested that malingering may be an extreme form of coping. When viewed in this light, malingering can be seen as an adaptive quality rather than antisocial behavior, which can impact not only the clinical view of malingerers, but also the treatment options for these individuals. The current study sought to provide one of the first evaluations of the impact of one's coping response style on one's ability to feign PTSD. Also, because of the positive relationship between coping, resilience, and social support, the current study also sought to provide one of the first evaluations of the impact of each construct (i.e. coping, resilience, social support) on one's ability to malinger. The current study also explored the complex relationship of all three constructs on one's ability to feign PTSD and whether or not specific combinations allow for optimal malingering ability. This study employed a simulation design with a sample of college undergraduates with and without genuine PTSD. Coping response style, degree of resilience, and social support were also evaluated for all participants. Participants' ability to feign, as calculated by the experimental measure, was compared across coping, resilience, and social support. The ultimate goal of this study was to explore these relationships and provide empirical support for understanding malingering as an adaptive coping mechanism.

Download or read book Malingering, Feigning, and Response Bias in Psychiatric/ Psychological Injury written by Gerald Young and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-02-11 with total page 931 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a comprehensive analysis of the definitions, concepts, and recent research on malingering, feigning, and other response biases in psychological injury/ forensic disability populations. It presents a new model of malingering and related biases, and develops a “diagnostic” system based on it that is applicable to PTSD, chronic pain, and TBI. Included are suggestions for effective practice and future research based on the literature reviews and the new systems, which are useful also because they can be used readily by psychiatrists as much as psychologists. In Malingering, Feigning, and Response Style Assessment in Psychiatric/Psychological Injury, Dr. Young ambitiously sets out to articulate and synthesize the polarities involved in the assessment of response styles in psychological disabilities, including PTSD, pain, and TBI. He does so thoroughly and very even-handedly, neither minimizing the degree that outright faking can be found in substantial numbers of examinees, nor disregarding the possibility that there can be causes for validity test failure other than malingering. He reviews the prior systems for classifying evidence of malingering, and proposes his own criteria for feigned PTSD. These are conservative and well-grounded in the prior literature. Finally, the book contains dozens of very recent references, giving testament to Dr. Young's immersion in the personal injury literature, as might be expected from his experience as founder and Editor in Chief for Psychological Injury and the Law.

Download or read book The Detection of Malingered Post-traumatic Stress Disorder with the Cap-q and Traumatic Events Inventory written by Samuel Rodman and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The feigning of psychiatric symptoms is of great concern in both clinical and forensic settings. Therefore, it is crucial to develop reliable and valid measures that are not only diagnostically valid but also allow for the detection of individuals who are attempting to exaggerate illness in order to receive monetary compensation or escape duty or work. The present study was initiated so as to assess the psychometric properties of a new measure for the assessment of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), the A-PTSD Scale. This 35-item self-report measure relies on the DSM-V criteria and employs indirect questioning as well as reversed items to provide more security against the feigning of symptoms. The A-PTSD scale utilizes two subscales: the primary PTSD scale which provides a total score, and a resiliency scale. The resiliency scale is intended to work as both a prognostic measure and a validity scale. Namely, there is ample research showing that individuals with such traits can successfully recover from adverse experiences. As such, they are less likely to suffer from long-term chronic PTSD symptoms. Given that stand-alone PTSD measures are impacted by confirmatory bias the A-PTSD scale was intended to be embedded within the 148-item CAP-Q, a multiscale self-report measure that includes its own traditional validity scales. The results of the study show that A-PTSD psychometric properties are not impacted by being embedded within the CAP-Q. It also had comparable reliability with existing PTSD measures and was able to discriminate between PTSD simulators and non-simulators, correlated with cognitive measures of effort. Overall, the A-PTSD appears to have incremental utility over traditional measures, although additional studies using clinical populations are recommended prior to adapting measure into clinical practice.

Download or read book The Effect of Lifetime Trauma Symptom Experience on the Ability to Feign PTSD written by Alexandra S. Garber and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The intent of this study is to cross-validate an assessment tool designed to identify genuine and feigned PTSD as well as to provide some of the first data available on the ability to feign PTSD among those with past experience with the associated symptoms. PTSD is one of the most highly compensable mental health disorders and its diagnostic criteria are readily accessible to the public, which makes the disorder highly vulnerable to feigning. Current assessments designed to identify PTSD often lack the ability to differentiate feigned from genuine PTSD. The current measure was designed to fill this gap. Recently, the effect of coaching on the ability to feign PTSD has been a focus of research, essentially studying the effect of knowledge of PTSD on the ability to feign PTSD. This research has largely ignored one critical form of knowledge: personal experience of PTSD or the associated symptoms. The current study seeks to examine the effect of personal experience of PTSD on the ability to feign PTSD. This study employs a simulation design with a sample of college undergraduates with and without genuine PTSD. Participants asked to feign PTSD, who do and do not have lifetime PTSD experience, are compared to honest responders with PTSD. Preliminary results indicate that individuals with experience of subthreshold or remitted PTSD were as easily detected by the measure as individuals with no lifetime PTSD experience.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In military medicine, the detection of malingering is a necessary function of mental health practitioners. Exposure to life-threatening events can produce the stress-related psychiatric condition of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD. The nature of war can lead to genuine PTSD or the conscious simulation of symptoms of PTSD for secondary gain. Since malingering has a significant impact on the military and its mission, the importance of differentiating malingering from genuine PTSD makes it relevant that the present state of the art and science of this process be presented in this book.

Download or read book Detection of Malingering during Head Injury Litigation written by Cecil R. Reynolds and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-03-21 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increased public awareness of traumatic brain injuries has fueled a number of significant developments: on the one hand, more funding and more research related to these injuries and their resulting deficits; on the other, the possibility of higher stakes in personal injury suits—and more reasons for individuals to feign injury. Expanding both the conceptual and clinical knowledge base on the subject, the Second Edition of Detection of Malingering during Head Injury Litigation offers the latest detection tools and techniques for veteran and novice alike. As in its initial incarnation, this practical revision demonstrates how to combine clinical expertise, carefully-gathered data, and the use of actuarial models as well as common sense in making sound evaluations and reducing ambiguous results. And, the book navigates the reader through the many caveats that come with the job, beginning with the scenario that an individual may be malingering despite having an actual brain injury. Among the updated features: •Specific chapters on malingering on the Halstead-Reitan, Luria-Nebraska, and MMPI-2. •A framework for distinguishing genuine from factitious PTSD in head injury cases. •Detailed information regarding performance on the WMT, MSVT, and NV-MSVT by children with developmental disabilities. •Guidelines for explaining symptom validity testing to the trier of fact. •Entirely new chapters on mild TBI and on malingering of PTSD symptoms in the context of TBI litigation. Professional neuropsychologists and forensic psychologists will appreciate this new edition of Detection of Malingering during Head Injury Litigation as an invaluable source of refinements to their craft, and improvement as an expert witness.

Download or read book Assessment of Malingered Neuropsychological Deficits written by Glenn J. Larrabee and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2007-07-16 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written specifically for the clinical neuropsychologist who does forensic consultations, the book is a comprehensive review by experts of the procedures available to evaluate malingered neuropsychological deficits. It discusses tools for detecting atypical patterns of performance on standard clinical tests as well as malingering on measures of perception and sensorimotor function, of attention, processing speed, and memory, and of executive function. The underpinnings of the forensic neuropsychology enterprise are presented in chapters on definitions of malingering, research designs for its evaluation, data on the frequency with which malingering occurs, diagnostic classification statistics, symptom validity tests that do not depend on forced choice testing, and those that do. Guidance on assessing exaggerated psychiatric symptoms; exaggerated medical symptoms and injuries; and detecting malingering during the neurological exam is also included. Of particular note is a chapter devoted to the topic of coaching. The book closes with a review of the diagnostic criteria for malingering and looks to the future with evidence-based proposals for improving the criteria.

Even seasoned and knowledgeable practitioners will find much that is new to them in this book. The volume covers topics in depth that other books in the field may not cover at all, such as the use of herbal and nutritional therapies for medical-psychiatric symptoms and syndromes, and the choice of questionnaires to supplement history-taking. It looks at old topics in a new way: The chapter on the physical examination applies psychometric considerations to the Babinski sign, describes the method and application of quantitative bedside olfactory testing, and discusses smartphone apps to improve the sensitivity of the examination. Psychiatric Care of the Medical Patient, 3rd Edition provides concepts and information to facilitate the dialogue between psychiatrists and general medical specialists - minimizing psychiatric jargon and speaking in the common language of caring and curious physicians.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Detecting Malingering and Deception: Forensic Distortion Analysis (FDA-5), Third Edition maintains the tradition of the prior two editions, following the Forensic Distortion Analysis (FDA) model. Fully updated since the last edition nearly 20 years ago, the book continues to serve as a comprehensive volume on deception and distortion in forensic, clinical and several specialized contexts. As with the previous editions, the book presents a model of deception intended to be utilized and applied by the qualified evaluator. The proposed model covers targets of the faker, response styles shown, and methods to detect the deception. The goal is to summarize the historical and latest information on distortion detection, to present guidelines for detecting deception that include variable accuracy rates based on different detection techniques, and to stimulate further research of effective methods of deception detection. Recommendations and guidelines for the practicing clinician are offered throughout the book, including real-world cases to inform and enlighten, particularly in unique cases or those in which the certain outcomes are unexpected. Key Features: Outlines the role of the forensic professional in applying and integrating methods assessment in deception and distortion Provides base-rates for deception-related behavior and events, especially useful in report writing or courtroom testimony as an expert witness Presents the latest advances in methodology and technology to assist in the search for ground truth in applied settings and situations Applies forensic distortion analysis to evaluate the deception-related findings and statements of other professionals involved in a particular case New coverage includes sections on deception analysis for collectivities, including media groups, contemporary politics, cross-national corporations, conflict, and terrorism Detecting Malingering and Deception incorporates the latest research, providing practical application to utilize information and evaluative methods as they pertain to deception-related settings and situations. Sample reports and extensive graphs, tables, charts, and histograms are provided, and every chapter has been updated with new studies and investigations. The Third Edition boasts several new chapters and updated working appendices of coverage to expand the exploration of deception addressing advances in the field, and our current understanding of the phenomenon.
