PSY-765F Malingering and Deception2 semester credits
This class will provide students with a general framework for evaluating malingering of both cognitive and functional psychological symptoms. A comprehensive model for assessing malingering and exaggeration, utilizing psychological tests, interview data, historical records, collateral interviews and longitudinal observation will be described and applied to case examples. The use of forced choice and graded difficulty techniques for assessing malingering of cognitive deficits and self-report and interview instruments for assessing functional psychopathology will be reviewed and their use demonstrated. Relevant readings will be assigned and students will be expected to submit written work that reviews and critiques one instrument used in the assessment of malingering and addresses one significant controversy in the assessment of malingering–and to comment briefly on their classmates’ submissions.
