Presenter: William B. Barr Ph.D.
Title: Neuropsychological Assessment of Malingering
Background: William B. Barr Ph.D., ABPP, Associate Professor of Neurology and Psychiatry
New York University School of Medicine, NYU Comprehensive Epilepsy Center. Assessing effort and validity of a patient’s responses during testing has been hot topic for neuropsychologists since the 1980’s.
Details: This talk will review the evolution of techniques for assessment of symptom validity through neuropsychological testing and present some of the newest available methods. The presentation will be divided between reviews of techniques for determining the validity of neuropsychological testing and those used for assessing the veracity of various psychiatric presentations through the use of interview methods and self-report inventories. Studies on the estimated base rates of symptom exaggeration in clinical and both civil and criminal forensic settings will be presented with a conclusion that the rate of malingered neurocognitive and psychiatric illnesses is likely higher than what is believed by most practicing clinicians.
