Synopsis

MMPI-2: Assessing Personality and Psychopathology, 3/E is an updated version of a book that has been used extensively in graduate courses in psychological assessment and by others who are interested in learning about the MMPI-2, conducting research concerning the MMPI-2, or using the MMPI-1 clinically. The development of the original MMPI is described, as is the revision of the MMPI that resulted in two instruments - the MMPI-1 for use with adults and MMPI-A for use with adolescents. Detailed instructions for administering, scoring, and coding the MMPI-2 are presented. Interpretation of validity, clinical, content, and supplementary scales is discussed and illustrated with cases. There is a section concerning the use of the MMPI-2 with special populations such as older adults, ethnic minorities, medical patients, and prisoners. The chapter on supplementary scales includes information about several new scales that were developed after the MMPI-2 was published. Two new validity scales, Superlative (S) and Infrequency-Psychopathology F(p), and two relatively new addiction scales, Addiction Acknowledgement (AAS) and Addiction Potential (APS) are presented. The Hostility (Ho) scale, which has been very successful in predicting negative health events, such as coronary artery disease, is described in some detail. A new chatper has been added related to computerized administration, scoring, and interpretation of the MMPI-2. The adolescent form of the test (MMPI-2) is described and its interpretation is illustrated. Appendices present technical information about the numerous MMPI-2 scales.
