Methods for the classification of malingering have advanced from idiosyncratic case studies to systematic research. As an outgrowth of individual feigning scales, detection strategies have been developed and validated that are conceptually based and tested across measures. This article briefly reviews detection strategies for two distinct domains: feigned cognitive impairment and feigned mental disorders. It examines general categories of detection strategies (i.e., unlikely and amplified) and clinical methods (e.g., multiscale inventories and structured interviews). Recommendations are presented for malingering screens and malingering determinations.
