| Summary |
The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory Revised (MMPI-2) is the most widely researched and broadly used personality assessment instrument in psychology. This guide was written for the novice test user, nonpsychology professional, and student of clinical and personality assessment, assuming no testing or clinical background. Offering an interpretive strategy that readers can easily follow to integrate hypotheses about clients, Butcher investigates the developmental rationale and the broad personality and symptomatic measures of the instrument. Generously illustrated with case material, the various measures of the MMPI-2 are clearly explained. Also included is a useful strategy for writing MMPI-2 based personality descriptions |
