The Mmpi-2 and Mmpi-2-RF : An Essential Primer for Nonpsychologist Mental Health Professionals (9781543184310)

This book provides a practical, no-nonsense description of the MMPI-2 and the MMPI-2-RF instruments. It was designed for nonpsychologist mental health professionals who wish to increase their understanding of the MMPI-2 and MMPI-2-RF. The authors provide step-by-step instructions describing how to utilize validity scales to determine if client responses are valid and useable, or suspect. Clinical scales, two-point and three-point code types, and supplementary scales, such as Aggressiveness, Psychoticism, Disconstraint, Negative Emotionality/Neuroticism, and Introversion/Low Positive Emotionality are described. Clinical vignettes are used throughout the book to help readers better understand the persons behind the MMPI-2 and MMPI-2-RF scores. The authors' intent is to help master's degreed mental health professionals (e.g., counselors, chemical dependency counselors, child protective services workers, marriage and family therapists, social workers, psychiatric nurses, and attorneys and magistrates, etc.) without specific coursework in the MMPI-2 and MMPI-2-RF become better able to understand clinical profiles and reports, and optimize clinical intervention and treatment for their clients. Jointly the authors have 60-years clinical experience and have used the MMPI since 1986. They have practical clinical experience and understand how the instruments can be used to increase positive clinical outcomes. Both authors are nationally recognized full professors who teach assessment to master's and doctoral counseling students at two leading American institutions (The University of Texas at San Antonio and The University of Mississippi). Thus, practicing mental health professionals and mental health students in training will find the book useful to their professional development.
