Reviews
This much-needed volume makes the case that validity testing must now be considered an essential component of child psychological assessments. Experts in this growing field of study summarize what is known about feigning and malingering in a variety of child clinical settings and provide indispensable guidance for practitioners. Congratulations to Kirkwood for bringing together state-of-the-art research and clinical practices. Recommended for clinicians, researchers, and students in disciplines where psychological assessment of children is a core activity, including clinical child and school psychology, neuropsychology, and forensic child psychology. --Russell A. Barkley, PhD, ABPP, ABCN, Department of Psychiatry, Medical University of South Carolina This groundbreaking volume is an authoritative desk reference for clinicians and researchers which ushers in the nascent era of child and adolescent validity testing. Kirkwood presents a superb synthesis of state-of-the-art knowledge that should be added to the syllabus of every graduate-level course on psychological testing. It is crucial reading for all who conduct psychological evaluations of children and adolescents, including pediatric clinical neuropsychologists, child psychologists, and school psychologists. Others who are involved in reading psychological reports or evaluating pediatric outcomes research will find important insights about pediatric test performance and interpretation. --Ida Sue Baron, PhD, ABPP, private practice, Potomac, Maryland, and Fairfax, Virginia
