The gold-standard measure of feigning
When examining patients with distressing psychopathological or physical
symptoms, you want to be sure of your
diagnosis and your treatment recommendations. Clients or patients who
deliberately distort or create symptoms
can challenge the accuracy of
your decisions.
Designed to detect response styles commonly associated with feigning, the SIRS-2
helps you discover if clients are likely to
deliberately exaggerate symptom severity
or fabricate symptoms in an effort to further
a diagnosis such as medical conditions,
mental disorders, or cognitive impairment.
The SIRS is the most widely used
forensic measure of malingering. It
includes eight scales that offer excellent
discriminant validity when comparing
feigning and genuine samples, and the
manual includes literature that addresses
detection strategies and their clinical
applications to feigned mental disorders.
