註釋Given the increasing incarceration rates and mental health problems among adolescents, there is a growing need for practitioners to be able to assess the accuracy of adolescents' self reports. This book provides forensic psychologists and clinicians with interviewing techniques and strategies; psychological testing approaches; and insight into professional, legal, and ethical issues relative to the assessment of the reports of troubled adolescents aged 13-19 yrs. /// The author maintains that there is a wide variety of reasons for deception among adolescents, requiring a careful review of case history and treatment context. Discussion of the significance and classification of malingering and deception, case examples, and analysis of applications in clinical and forensic settings make this examination of adolescent deception a resource for clinicians, forensic psychologists, psychiatrists, and attorneys who specialize in representing juveniles.
