Many neuro-psychological evaluations have forensic implications. The issue of malingering cannot be ignored by the clinicians who practice in clinical neuro psychology. There are too many incentives to feign or embellish symptoms in the adversarial context. When psychologists are not oriented to malingering they fail to recognize when present. In medicine, the tension between truth and lies is evidenced in the conflict between malingering and its detection. Mental illness, because it is often difficult to objectively verify, is an age-old favorite of the malingerer.
