The Detection of Malingered Psychosis (6.5 Hours)
$59.99
This 6.5-hour presentation is presented by one of the great authorities on malingering, Dr. Phillip Resnick, MD. The following is the description of the program:

This program is designed to give mental health clinicians practical information about the detection of malingering and lying. The latest research on malingered hallucinations will be covered. Psychotic hallucinations will be distinguished from non-psychotic hallucinations. Suspect auditory hallucinations are less likely to be associated with delusions. Persons faking auditory hallucinations may say they have no strategies to diminish malevolent voices and claim that all command hallucinations must be obeyed. Malingerers are more likely to report extreme severity and intensity of their hallucinations. Suspect visual hallucinations are more likely to be reported in black and white rather than in color, be dramatic and more likely to include miniature or giant figures. Resolution of genuine hallucinations and delusions with anti-psychotic treatment will be delineated. Participants will learn twelve clues to detect malingered psychosis and four clues to detect malingered insanity. Videotapes of defendants describing hallucinations will enable participants to assess their skills in distinguishing between true and feigned hallucinations.

Workshop Content:
What motivates people to malinger?
Evidence based clues to lying
Common errors in lie detection
The role of inconsistency
Clues to malingered psychosis
Phenomenology of genuine hallucinations
Characteristics of command hallucinations
The nature of hallucinatory questions
Strategies to cope with hallucinations
Patterns of atypical hallucinations
Approaches to detecting faked insanity defenses

Workshop Objectives:
Identify three clues to malingered hallucinations
Describe two motivations for malingering
List three common errors in lie detection
Identify two characteristics of genuine hallucinations

The Expert Expert Witness – More Maxims and Guidelines for Testifying in Court
$29.99
Psychologists, psychiatrists, and other mental health professionals may be experts in their respective fields, but this expertise does not easily translate to effective courtroom testimony. Even veteran expert witnesses can encounter new challenges in these high-pressure situations, especially during a cross-examination where every statement and gesture can be scrutinized by an attorney searching for ways to dispute the expert’s credibility and opinions.

Short chapters punctuated by memorable maxims draw from the authors’ expansive personal experiences, as well as research and stories from other expert expert witnesses, to create this must-have resource that will inform and entertain expert witnesses for many years.

Stanley Brodsky, Ph.D.
published in 1999

Quotes: “This is a wonderful book. It is extremely useful for expert witnesses at all levels of experience. It is well written, succinct, highly readable, and engaging. It is a book that is enjoyable as well as educational…” Charles Patrick Ewing, J.D., Ph.D., ABPP

Extremism & the Workplace: Threat Assessment & Management of Grievance-fueled Violence Featuring the WAVR-21
Original price was: $109.99.Current price is: $89.99.
This six-hour training on the assessment and management of extremism and grievance-fueled violence in the workplace is provided by one of the nation’s foremost experts on the topic, Phill Saragoza, MD.

This program was delivered in June, 2024, in Charlotte, North Carolina, as part of a three-day training on Extremism and Grievance-fueled Violence in the Workplace.

The training addresses extremist beliefs and radicalization both broadly and in a narrower workplace context. Characteristics and behaviors suggestive of impending violence and characteristics that increase an individual’s susceptibility to extremist messaging and likelihood of mobilizing to violence are addressed. The training also provides an introduction to the WAVR-21 (Workplace Assessment of Violence Risk), a structured professional judgment instrument for the assessment of workplace and campus targeted violence risk, and demonstrates the application of the WAVR-21 to behaviors of concern related to extremist beliefs.

Learning objectives

Students will be supported to:
- Describe bases for extremist beliefs
- Identify warning behaviors for targeted violence
- Explain characteristics that increase a person’s risk for engaging in violent action
- Identify how the WAVR-21 provides a road map to threat assessment in the workplace and on campus
- Discuss ways in which extremism may contribute to targeted violence
- Explain the utility of the WAVR-21 in assessing cases involving extremism
For those seeking APA Continuing Education credits: 6 hours will be available soon. You may purchase and view the video now and we will alert you when the CE Exam for the course becomes available.

Female Sexual Abusers
$9.99
394 pages, published in 1999.

While a few more resources exist now then ten years ago, literature on female sexual abusers is still meager. Female abuser typologies are in flux, motivations rely more on assumptions than research results. Treatment modalities continue to be adapted from those used with men, and treatment outcomes remain undocumented. Every step we take to add to our knowledge of these hidden abusers is a step toward a safer society.

Female Sexual Abusers: Three Views is one such step, or perhaps more accurately, three. Drs. Davin Davin, Dunbar, and Hislop look at different aspects of female sexual abusers. Their rigorous, detailed research provides a deeper understanding of why woman abuse. Beginning with extensive literature reviews, their examination of women who abuse ranges from the characteristics of co-offenders, to factors in etiology of offending for women, to comparisons of psycho-social histories of women abusers and non-offending women in the same milieus.

A good but slightly dated book on this emerging topic.

Identifying Behavioral Signatures of Imminent Aggression (3.5 APA CEUs available)
Original price was: $74.99.Current price is: $64.99.
Online Training

Identify the signs of imminent danger that may keep you out of harm’s way.

Includes a pre-test, instruction, practice, and supplemental materials/readings. We recommend going through the course at least twice before taking the post-test.

Developed by renowned expert, Dr. David Matsumoto

Dr. Matsumoto is a Professor of Psychology at San Francisco State University and world-renowned expert in the field of emotion, culture, and nonverbal behavior. He has published over 400 books, book chapters, and journal articles on these subjects.

Description

Psychologists and mental health workers may sometimes be interacting with individuals with a propensity for violence, or individuals who become violent without such propensities.

Identifying behavioral signatures of imminent aggression may be particularly important for those interacting with individuals who may become violent or have other aggressive tendencies that may be destructive to therapeutic alliance and/or therapy.

To our knowledge, there is currently no graduate curricular content that teaches doctoral level psychologists on how to recognize immediate threats from nonverbal behavior.

Acquiring skills on how to spot these behaviors may allow psychologists to assess risk and prepare to take evasive action if they are in harm’s way.

Learning Objectives

(1) Identify and list key characteristics of the premeditated assault face and the loss of impulse control face.

(2) Demonstrate the ability to differentiate between faces associated with dangerous intent and other emotions.

(3) Proficiently recognize behavioral signatures of imminent attack in others within seconds.

Additional Information

Format and Length:

Multimodal interactive training. Includes pre-test, instructional and review videos, interactive practice sections, and supplemental material and readings. You can complete the course in multiple sittings and we recommend participants review the material more than once prior to taking the post-test. 3.5 CUEs available.

Instructional Level:

Introductory training for psychologists, psychiatrists, and mental health professionals.

Completion Requirements:

To obtain your CE certificate, you must progress through all course segments and readings, and obtain a score of 80% or higher on a post-test. Users will have a maximum of 3 attempts to complete the post-test at 80% proficiency.

Post Test and Course Evaluation:

After completing the pre-test, watching instructional videos, interactive practice sections, supplemental material and readings, the post-test will be available to complete, along the course evaluation.
