Abstract
The offender who feigns a psychotic disorder represents a significant challenge in forensic practice with serious implications if misdiag-nosis or mismanagement occur. The present study focuses on gathering empirical data regarding the presentation of offenders who fake auditory hallucinations and other psychotic symptoms. The objective is to provide clinically useful indicators derived from examining the patterns of characteristics reported by simulating and genuine patients, which may aid the clinician needing to distinguish authentic from feigned presentations of auditory hallucinations.Keywords
