In a recent medical article, one researcher examined the
omnipresent question of malingering of pain. Observing that diagnoses
of malingering are common in clinical settings when no objectively
demonstrable organic abnormality exists and yet the patient still
reports experiencing pain, Mendelson (2004) concluded that “there are no
valid clinical methods of assessment of possible malingering of pain and
thus, the diagnosis of malingering is inappropriate in any medical
evaluation. Whether or not someone is malingering is a question for the
courts, not the medical professional. (Mendelson, G. [2004]
Malingering pain in the medicolegal context.I Journal of Pain,
V. 20 (6), pp. 423-32.)
