PRACTICE POINTS



Secondary gain
is universal in disability and sick role, and does not imply malingering

Psychiatric disorders, including Chronic Benign Pain, are not diseases and have neither known causes nor objective tests

When a finding of malingering is likely to be influenced by the results of psychological testing, counsel should cross-examine on the documented validity of each test
