This book provides a comprehensive presentation of psychological problems, such as posttraumatic stress, depression and chronic pain, that are the result of injury or trauma and legal proceedings, such as tort after motor vehicle collisions. It stresses the complex nature of these disabilities, particularly in the judicial setting, and the critical task of accurately assessing and diagnosing the extent of the injury. Assessments involve the use of standardized tests, including those that assess for negative response bias and possible malingering.
