Synopsis

Completely revised and updated, MMPI-2: Assessing Personality and Psychopathology, Second Edition encompasses all that has been learned about the MMPI-2 in the last 4 years. One chapter is devoted to recently developed supplementary scales, including two alcohol abuse scales and a marital distress scale. The book examines the use of the MMPI-2 with special groups, such as older adults, ethnic minorities, medical patients, correctional subjects, and subjects in nonclinical settings. A detailed interpretive strategy developed by the author is presented and illustrated with several cases. The development of the MMPI-A, the adolescent version of the test, is discussed, and a strategy for interpreting the results of this new test is included. This work is essential to students in personality assessment courses learning about the MMPI-2 as well as to professionals who use the MMPI-2 and the MMPI-1 in research and clinical work.

Review

The author has produced a very thorough yet readable, accessible book with helpful additions in this latest edition. This book is an uncritical guide both for clinicians and researchers working within the personality assessment domain, and for graduates wishing to learn more about this widely used test.
