Validity Assessment in Rehabilitation Psychology and Settings cover

This is the first book devoted to the topic of validity assessment in rehabilitation contexts and is written by two board certified psychologists with extensive experience in clinical neuropsychology and rehabilitation psychology. This book describes (a) why validity assessment is important, (b) validity assessment methods, and (c) special topics related to validity assessment in rehabilitation psychology (e.g., managing invalid presentations, mild traumatic brain injury, forensic and disability applications, ethical considerations). Although primarily intended for the rehabilitation psychologist who is new to the topic of validity assessment, this book is also designed to be helpful to other rehabilitation specialists, students and trainees, and psychologists experienced in validity assessment, including neuropsychologists.

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. * Christopher J Graver, PhD, ABPP-CN, Madigan Army Medical Center *
