Abstract:
The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2-Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF) represents a paradigm shift in psychology. What was once a black-and-white approach to diagnosis -- you either had a disorder or you didn't -- has changed to a more flexible and realistic system that recognizes a continuum of functioning. In this introductory guide, David M. McCord offers a thorough overview of the MMPI-2-RF and each of its 51 scales, along with practical considerations for administration and scoring. In the first pass, the examiner quickly scans the results to get a broad sense of the client's personality and psychopathology. The second pass entails a more methodical analysis that focuses on specific domains, such as somatic/cognitive dysfunction and interpersonal functioning. A rich case example brings this process to life by showing readers how to evaluate an actual score report and communicate their interpretations in narrative format. -- Provided by publisher.
