Description
This book is the culmination of more than 20 years of study, research, and the direct evaluation of thousands of forensic clients. The authors provide the reader with the highest caliber of professionalism and make clear that the current state of the art in deception analysis is crude to say the least. They challenge readers to closely examine their own decision processes in regard to deception. And they admit that they have no sympathy for the common complaint that proper deception analysis requires much time and effort, which can be a burden to the busy professional. They make clear that the days of administering an MMPI and a Rorschach to a client and thereby knowing everything there is to know about that person are gone forever.
