"Performance and symptom validity testing is an integral and
critical part of the cognitive and neuropsychological assessment,
but relatively little attention has been given to validity testing
in the rehabilitation setting until now. This book builds from
previous book chapters and articles published by these authors to
provide a logical, one-stop reference. The information is accurate,
up to date, and ready to implement in clinical practice. This is a
superb
book that would be well placed in the libraries of rehabilitation
clinicians, as well as added to required reading for
neuropsychology and rehabilitation psychology postdoctoral training
programs." --
Christopher J Graver, PhD, ABPP-CN, Madigan Army Medical Center
"This work provides an important resource, not previously
available, for rehabilitation psychologists. The authors address
various forms of validity that can be impacted in assessment
situations, and provide compelling and concrete examples of why
validity assessment is not just a clinical neuropsychologist's
tool."
-- Beth K. Rush, PhD, ABPP, CN, RP, Mayo Clinic Florida
"Although publications regarding symptom and performance validity
are common in neuropsychology the topic is rarely broached in
rehabilitation focused literature. Drs. Carone and Bush recognized
this gap and filled it with a concise and informative book that
encourages rehabilitation oriented clinicians to assess and remain
mindful of this broad issue in clinical practice. Most importantly
the volume provides sage advice and evidence based methods for
managing
clinical dilemmas and treating individuals who, for a variety of
reasons, may not be fully engaged in their recovery."
