Assessing Negative Response Bias In Competency To Stand Trial Evaluations

This work provides readers with a comprehensive guide to assessing whether a defendant has feigned mental impairment during a competency to stand trial evaluation, or simply did not put forth his/her best effort. This text reviews the literature on assessing feigning and negative response bias, with particular focus on issues, tests and data relevant to CST evaluations, and examines proposed criteria and statistical methods of determining and classifying assessment results.
