This book contains chapters by leading international experts on crucial topics in applying psychology to legal cases that hinge on psychological issues. Witnesses who are lying, reporting false information from memory, or feigning illness or forgetfulness can all compromise the search for truth in a case. The authors discuss the latest research on these topics and others. Lawyers and judges, as well as forensic psychologists, will find this book of great interest. * Henry L. Roediger, III, James S.
