Summary:

For the first time, there are, in one source book, recognized experts who have one fact in common -- they believe the polygraph is scientifically valid, accurate and reliable. Individual articles and a panel of distinguished polygraph experts point to the continued emphasis in the polygraph field upon operational analysis and the refinement of techniques. Suggestions and instructions for the calibration and standardization of polygraph instruments are offered; and a labor management panel reveals that labor opposition to the polygraph is not so monolithic as has been supposed.
