Abstract
GONZALEZ ORDI, Héctor; CAPILLA RAMIREZ, Pilar and MATALOBOS VEIGA, Blanca. Malingered pain in the medico-legal setting. Clínica y Salud [online]. 2008, vol.19, n.3, pp.393-415. ISSN 2174-0550.
This paper reviews the state-of-the-art of scientific literature on the detection of malingered pain in a medico-legal setting. Based on Bianchini, Greve & Glynn (2005), criteria for detecting malingered pain-related disability, medical and psychological assessment strategies and procedures within a multidimensional framework are addressed, including evidence of external benefits and physical (medical), neuropsychological, and self-report convergent data for the diagnostic of malingering.
