Abstract
The authors describe a patient who complained of a severe memory loss. Information gathered from the history, interview, and testing suggested malingering. The patient was then assessed by a strategy called Symptom Validity Testing. Her score was statistically worse than chance, which provided compelling evidence that she was faking bad.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
