Detecting Lies and Deceit: The Psychology of Lying and the Implications for Professional Practice

This is an extraordinary book, a well-written and clear survey of the psychological literature on deception written by one of the leaders in the field. Extremely thorough, and although sophisticated enough for professionals it is nevertheless useful for students and non-psychologists. As a lawyer and academic who writes on psychology and the law, I found it enormously helpful in preparing an article on the admissibility of expert testimony on lie-detection techniques. Having written on the subject before, and being more adept at legal rather than psychological research, I was thrilled to find such a clear and thorough collection of sources and commentary on the myriad social science research on lie-detection, and have already used the book's index to locate and look up numerous studies with which I was previously unfamiliar.

As a psychologist, I purchased this book expecting a thorough presentation of the topic and for the price of $153.98, I expected a text book. Instead I received a 225 page paper back which barely touches on the topics listed in the table of contents.

I purchased at the same time, Paul Ekman's Telling Lies, Clues to Deceipt in the Marketplace, Politics, and Marriage. This book contained 385 pages and extensively delves into each topic. Not only is it better written, but the cost of this book was $10.49. To pay 14.7 times the price of this book for the Aldert Virj book was a rip-off. The seller still has not replied to my request to return this book.
