"Forensic Psychophysiology Using the Polygraph" Scientific Truth Verification - Lie Detection Testimonials Cleve Backster, Hon. Ph.D., D.Sc., world renowned scientist, forensic psychophysiologist and director of the Backster School of Lie Detection, stated in his Foreword "I truly believe that this textbook laboriously compiled by Dr. Matte will be the enduring source within the polygraph profession for many years, and it is without reservation that I highly recommend this text to all individuals directly and indirectly involved in forensic psychophysiology using the polygraph." (Read Dr. Backster's foreword) The Honorable Vincent E. Doyle, New York State Supreme Court Administrative Judge, Eighth Judicial District, stated in his Foreword "The author Matte makes a very convincing argument that the new standard (Federal Rules of Evidence) opens the door for polygraph evidence to be considered by the jury along with any and all other evidence, direct, circumstantial and expert. His chapter on the legal aspects of the PV examination is most comprehensive and enlightening. Students of this science, as well as lawyers who seek to understand it, would be well served by reading Doctor Matte’s exhaustive treatise which is written with great clarity and based upon painstaking research." (Read Judge Doyle's foreword) Charles M. Sevilla, Esquire, prominent defense attorney in San Diego, California, published author, listed in The Best Lawyers in America (Woodward/White, Inc.) stated in his Foreword "Dr. Matte’s Forensic Psychophysiology Using the Polygraph is the best text on the subject I have seen. For too many years there has been a lack of a single resource for polygraphists, lawyers, judges and scientist to resort to learn about polygraph issues. This book will solve that problem. It contains comprehensive discussions of the history, validation research, as well as test technique, application and interpretation. In future court hearings on polygraph, this will be a tremendous aid in demonstrating validity and overcoming the historic judicial reluctance to admit the evidence." "Dr. Matte’s book is an invaluable resource and an enormous contribution to the field." (Read Mr. Sevilla's foreword)
