“Providing easy-to-follow guidance on how to evaluate validity at various steps of neuropsychological assessments, this book includes frequent summaries in short, clear paragraphs and tables. Schroeder and Martin not only share examples of patient statements, test results, or behaviors that might raise concerns, but also offer specific advice on how to handle these situations. This unusually practical book will be a valuable resource for both new and experienced professionals in clinical neuropsychology.”

“Schroeder and Martin are widely recognized for their research on performance and symptom validity tests (PVTs and SVTs), and are also experienced clinical neuropsychologists, which uniquely positions them to author this book. In a user-friendly format, chapters cover interviewing; using PVTs and SVTs, including clinical guidance, cutoff scores, and cautions; providing feedback on invalid performance; and more. The final chapter provides a detailed case demonstration. The authors should be congratulated for this first-rate example of evidence-based practice.”
