Course Description
**This 12-unit course is approved for 4 hours of POST CPE credit.** This course is intended to assist clinicians in detecting various types of deception.

Although deception is more of a problem in forensic and correctional settings, the authors also include discussions pertinent to employment and general clinical settings.
