Assessment of Suboptimal Effort
Presented by: Dr. Gloria Maccow
The assessment of suboptimal effort is an important function performed by clinical psychologists, forensic psychologists, and neuropsychologists. In cases that could involve substantial secondary gain to the examinee, e.g., large monetary awards, it is especially important for psychologists to demonstrate that the examinee’s performance is consistent with the nature of his or her injury or clinical condition, i.e., that the results are valid. Thus, it is common for medical-legal evaluations and other litigation cases to include measures of symptom validity. This one-hour webinar will describe several measures of symptom validity used by psychologists to assess reported psychiatric symptoms and cognitive impairments.
