Malingery: Stealing the Truth

Malingery -- Stealing the Truth -- takes a look at lying in the service of a goal. With a language of simplicity and focus, Strauss's decades of clinical and forensic psychiatric work gave rise to this expanded set of insights into malingering. New malingering catorgories explain and identify the manners and styles of motivations and behavors which use dishonesty. Malingery's topics include such areas as a review of the psychological and biological testing concepts used to detect malingering and why experts come to different conclusions. There is also a general overview of the nature and history of truth and lying.
