Poker Face in Mental Health Practice: A Primer on Deception Analysis and Detection
Author: Ansar Haroun
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 0393707393
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 165
Book Description
Using the latest techniques from poker players to detect when your patients are lying to you. Forensic psychiatrists frequently deal with deceptive people. In these cases, malingering is the most common type of deception one encounters. However, deception on the part of mental health clients in other treatment settings is much broader and more complex than malingering, and learning the signs of deception can be useful for therapists in any specialty, especially those who do not necessarily take what their clients tell them at face value. The book begins with an introduction to some basic concepts concerning deception, with particular emphasis on “what it is” and “what it isn’t.” It then looks at the motivations behind and methods of deception in mental health practice, as well as the common contexts in which deception occurs. Finally, with an eye toward the detection of deception, the book looks at the game of poker as a “clinical case study” to explore whether the popular notion of “tells” has any relevance to the practice of mental health treatment. This short and uniquely illustrated guide will help mental health professionals determine when, why, and how their clients may lie to them. With some of the analysis based on insights from the world of poker players, readers will learn about methods of deception, reasons why clients deceive them, and the best methods to uncover the truth.

Pages : 874
Book Description
Find your Happily Ever After with three classic stories of dogs unleashing romance in small-town settings, from RITA® Award—winning author Inglath Cooper, together for the first time in one box set! A Year and a Day Audrey Colby has the life most women dream of… Too bad it’s all a facade. Her seemingly devoted husband is really a monster. Their high-society “friends” protect his ugly secrets. The mansion they live in is just a gilded prison for her and her son, Sammy. Everything hinges on escape. One day, Audrey decides she and her son need to leave. She’s had enough. If only former state prosecutor Nicholas Wakefield would stop interfering… Nicholas has seen his share of violence perpetrated against women. He knows there are some injustices he can’t make right, like the unsolved rape and murder of his teenage sister. He failed her. But he won’t fail Audrey. A Gift of Grace In a moment of grief, Caleb Tucker made the biggest mistake of his life. He gave away his wife’s baby, born under the most tragic circumstances. Three years later he gets a second chance. All because Sophie Owens walks into his feed store with her little girl—a little girl who looks a lot like his late wife. But in order to get his second chance, he’ll have to ruin Sophie’s world. Perhaps, though, a gift of grace could save them both. The Lost Daughter of Pigeon Hollow Willa Addison doesn’t believe in fairy tales. She’s too busy running her mother’s diner and raising her wild teenage sister. She doesn’t like to dwell on the dreams she once had, dreams she put on hold. Then Owen Miller walks into her diner and changes her life. She doesn’t know what to think when Owen hands her a letter from her father—a father she thought was dead—requesting they meet. As if that wasn’t enough, her sister has become more than she can handle. It’s time for Willa to figure out what’s happened to her life. And maybe, with Owen around, she can finally believe in happily-ever-after…

As you try to settle into a life you still like to call "someone else's movie," you're looking for some friends—and many answers—now! Resourceful, you turn to the web for the former—and find the latter, in the Mommymay list—a virtual clubhouse of other women, all due the same month as you. Step through your very own e-looking glass and meet your 60 or so commadres who paint a dynamic, diverse, and sometimes dissonant portrait of what it is to be a mom-to-be today. Some of these women you'll like, some you'll love, some you won't be able to stand—but they're there anyway, your community, your circle of friends, sage guides and oftentimes, enigmatic chatterboxes. There's no shortage of wit, wackiness and new wives' tales as you all hurtle through this exciting, curious, baffling and altogether wondrous journey towards motherhood. The old cliché is true: your life will be forever changed.
