This second edition was undertaken to include more than 100 new references relevant to test use and provide an extensive overview of the MMPI-A Structural Summary approach developed by the author to simplify and clarify the interpretation of this test instrument. It also presents essential facts and recommendations on the MMPI-A for those clinicians, students, and researchers interested in fully understanding and utilizing this assessment instrument.
The text reviews the reasons for the development of the MMPI-A and the salient features of this instrument including the validity, content, and supplementary scales and the MMPI-A Structural Summary Form. MMPI-A single scale and codetype correlates are furnished as well as clinical case examples which illustrate the most recent principles of MMPI-A interpretation. Throughout the text, emphasis is placed on presenting information in a manner that is of direct clinical relevance for the practitioner while also providing sufficient technical information and research data to serve as a guide for future researchers in this field.
Additional special features include:
* presentation of appropriate administration criteria for the MMPI-A;
* a review of the validity assessment process, including the role of the new MMPI-A validity scales;
* presentation of the MMPI-A Structural Summary form and clinical examples illustrating the use of this interpretive approach;
* a rich guide to correlates for individual MMPI-A scales and for a broad range of frequently occurring two-point codetypes;
* extensive and updated references to document the empirical foundations of the MMPI-A;
* numerous tables and figures providing guidelines for MMPI-A interpretation;
* a presentation of adolescent norms for the original MMPI, for the MMPI-A, and a specialized set of MMPI-A norms for 13-year olds;
* a T-score conversion table for basic MMPI-A scales permitting estimates of the Marks and Briggs (1967) T-score values;
* appendix materials listing all Lachar-Wrobel critical items and all Wiggins Content Scale items retained within the MMPI-A; and
* tabular examples of item content of all MMPI-A basic, content, and supplementary scales.

Review
Praise for the second edition:
"...the single most comprehensive reference for application of MMPI and MMPI-A to the evaluation of adolescents. Even experienced clinicians will be especially impressed by a series of case studies that demonstrate the value of the MMPI-A in the evaluation of psychiatric patients."
―Contemporary Psychology
"...this is a very thorough, well-written book....thorough and evenhanded in addressing research and clinical issues. It provides a great deal of information about correlates and excellent guidelines regarding how to organize the data and interpret the resulting profile....recommend this book both to professors as a book through which to introduce clinicians in training to the MMPI-A and to professionals seeking a review or reference text on the MMPI-A."
―PsycCRITIQUES
"[It's] fair to say that [it] is the most current, comprehensive, and authoritative MMPI-A guide. [It] places at users' fingertips all the information needed to administer, score, and interpret the MMPI based on the most current knowledge about the test and experience with its use."
―Yossef S. Ben-Porath
