Hello Everyone!
I'm new to this site. I have a question regarding suspected malingering of psychosis by an adolescent. My thought originally was to go with the PAI-A due to the clinical useful and the NIM and PIM scales. Which is what I did. Now I'm afraid I made a clinical error because the MMPI-A likely has better malingering scales. What do you all think? Can I get away with using the PAI-A since I've already administered it (it's not totally scored but is valid) I also plan on doing a more in-depth interview. Any suggestions or comments are welcome.
