Description

"The MMPI, MMPI-2, and MMPI-A in Court" is an authoritative forensic source concerning numerical, research, and reference data about the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) in its original and two newer versions. A practical guide for both psychologists and attorneys, this book draws together diverse psychometric, legal, scientific, and professional information into a comprehensive resource for those who testify about psychological assessment, as well as those who challenge inadequate assessments and misleading testimony. "The MMPI, MMPI-2, and MMPI-A in Court" can also serve as a primary text in graduate school, law school, and continuing education courses on assessment, forensic practice, and rital preparation. Included are numerous appendices containing a sample agreement between expert witness and attorney, federal and state cases involving the MMPI, MMPI scales, and transparences used for presenting the MMPI.
