"Examination and Cross-Examination of Experts in Forensic Psychophysiology Using the Polygraph"
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 "This book will provide attorneys with ideal formats to depose their experts when laying the foundation for the admissibility of psychophysiological veracity (PV) examination results. It will also provide attorneys with examination scripts that will be of immense value in the identification of valid and faulty PV examinations. It is my sincere belief that this book, along with the textbook Forensic Psychophysiology Using The Polygraph will be of invaluable assistance to those involved in the examination and cross-examination of experts 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 "I have known James Allan Matte, Ph.D., both when I was a practicing attorney and as a Judge for the better part of 30 years. He is one of the most knowledgeable experts I have ever met. His two previous works, The Art and Science of the Polygraph Technique and Forensic Psychophysiology Using The Polygraph: Scientific Truth Verification – Lie detection, so impressed me that I wrote a Foreword to both those publications. This most recent treatise is perhaps the most practical of them all." "I urge students of this science as well as lawyers and Judges to read this well-written and comprehensive book" (Read Judge Doyle's foreword)
Denis A. Kitchen, Jr. Esquire, prominent defense attorney in Williamsville, New York, stated in his Foreword "The polygraph examination will gain broader acceptance in spite of continued resistance, but only if it is set upon a strong scientific foundation, properly presented in various judicial settings. What the attorney needed was a thoroughly documented and annotated plan to assist in laying the foundation for the introduction of polygraph evidence. This book is such a plan. Dr. Matte has crafted an impressive cookbook of model scripts for the most arduous trials involving psychophysiological veracity (PV) examinations. Personally, I would never undertake a presentation of a PV examination before a judge or jury without ensuring that all expert witnesses were thoroughly familiar with the references and issues covered by this very scholarly and practical book" (Read Mr. Kitchen's foreword)
