The Malingering Problem by Nuno Nogueira in JFSCI - Juniper Publishers
The Malingering, is the attempt to deliberately lie or not, against the fact that one wants to investigate. DSM-IV defines Simulation as production of false or exaggerated physical or psychological symptoms motivated by external incentives. The fact proved will always be (in principle), irrefutable before the lie and is the main point to unmask the lie. The issue of lying and simulation is depending on part of the subject with which we are dealing. Usually the people with higher education, may find that they can more easily omit or lie about the truth of the facts, and may be more time-consuming unmasks them. It is also important to analyze whether the accused is in this situation of hearing (in court), for the first time, or whether he or she is already coming to court other times, as well as determining their individual, personal and professional background. The components of personality, affections and feelings should be analyzed
