DSM-3R~ please realize too that there are professionals on all fields of study. And I'm discouraged to hear you explain things in such black and white thinking. I think the important thing is want to stress to Butterflyflies would be that irrespective of the reason there are professional polygraphers that are not abusive. At one time when such technology was used only in murder trials, there are many corporations even in my city that do a fair amount of this type of testing for this type of thing and other infidelity reasons. Quite honestly I was given a polygraph once and because I had the foresight to seek a certified examiner, it turned out to be a non-confrontational and interesting learning experience.
