Description
Book Synopsis
In clear, accessible language, this book introduces readers to the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2), the most widely researched and broadly used personality assessment instrument.
Several updates have been made since the previous edition of this popular book, including new interpretive information, new areas for application, and—most importantly—a new chapter on the MMPI-2 Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF), a separate short instrument that beginners may confuse with the MMPI-2. Case studies are used to illustrate major concepts.
