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.
