Críticas
"Deftly edited by Murray Kleiner, Handbook of Polygraph Testing is a scholarly collection of superbly presented essays by a variety of experts in the field which address the technical and psychological aspects of using polygraph or 'lie detector' testing today...fascinating compendium of studies and commentaries containing thought provoking information--especially for those who must increasingly use or come into contact with polygraph testing with respect to the contemporary governmental and corporate world of personnel screening, the demands of the legal system, and national security concerns." --MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW
There has not been that much written about research in the field of polygraph testing so this is a very welcome addition to the field. This book functions very well as an introduction to all aspects of the field as well as pointing to some of the frontiers of current research. - E-Streams
The structure of the book is very useful in that it balances very detailed explanations of the different tests and applications of polygraph testing with more theoretical investigations. - E-Streams
Overall, this is a very balanced, research-based book giving a wide variety of perspectives. I would recommend it for any library with a legal, criminology or law enforcement user community. Any psychology collection would also benefit from this book. - E-Streams
