This workshop is designed to provide an overview of complex issues that forensic psychologists and psychiatrists may encounter in conducting competency to stand trial evaluations of adult defendants. Research literature and case examples will be used to illustrate methods and strategies for addressing malingering, refusal or avoidance of interviews and contradictory information yielded by evaluations.  Ethical and clinical considerations of managing complex cases will also be presented.
