Psychology, Applications and Detection Tools

Lying sits at the centre of many fantasies and of beliefs that are often unfounded, and a general ignorance of the mechanisms involved can create many practical and ethical problems.

This updated second edition covers the psychological elements (beliefs, emotions, judgement biases), the concrete cues, both non-verbal and verbal, and the tools that make detection possible: the polygraph, eye tracking, discourse analysis and interview methods.
