ABSTRACT
Competent forensic practice has required continued training and professional practice in differentiating between genuine and malingered presentations, especially within the spectrum of psychotic disorders. Historically, practitioners valued racial, ethnic, and cultural differences but often considered them as peripheral matters. In contemporary forensic practice, however, language and culture play preponderant roles. This commentary is focused on core features of malingering via a cultural lens. Three core, race-informed principles, such as biases against the African American Language, are highlighted and discussed. Related subjects for forensic practice include relevant clinical constructs such as malingering bias and "imposed etics," specifically, the imposition of mainstream values and discounting of cultural differences.
