In 1999, the Department of Defense Polygraph Institute (DoDPI) released a bibliography of audiovisual training materials used in their polygraph education and research programs.
The document, issued in response to a FOIA request, catalogs hundreds of videotapes covering a wide range of topics related to lie detection, psychology, interrogation techniques, and legal considerations.
The archive includes both instructional content and topical case studies, many of which were used as part of DoDPI’s formal curriculum. Among the entries are:
“The DeLorean Polygraph”
“Satanic Rituals”
“Child Sexual Abuse Course: Inmate Panel”
“The Massey Triad”
“Countermeasures in Polygraph”
“Trial of Serial Killer Jeffrey Dahmer”
Other entries range from psychological theory to courtroom procedures and even news segments covering high-profile espionage cases and polygraph-related controversy.
The bibliography reflects the depth of material used in official government training during the late 20th century and provides a unique snapshot of how the polygraph was perceived and taught within the Department of Defense at the time.
