Rezensionen

Praise from the first edition: "This MMPI text...will become the standard textbook for courses on the test. Nothing is in the running with it."-- Paul E. Meehl, PhD, University of Minnesota

"The approach the authors have taken presents the best ways for a person who is beginning to learn the MMPI-2 or professionals seeking to update their knowledge about the test to get an in-depth exposure to extensive research literature underlying the MMPI-2. The result is a rich resource for understanding and interpreting the instrument." -- James N. Butcher, PhD, Professor Emeritus at the University of Minnesota

"The authors' MMPI expertise shines through in this revised edition, which retains the

depth of the earlier editions while providing updated research findings and a new overview of the MMPI-2-RF. This text is a vital resource for achieving a comprehensive understanding of the MMPI and developing sensitive, meaningful, and nuanced MMPI-2/MMPI-2-RF interpretations." -- Radhika Krishnamurthy, PsyD, ABAP, Clinical Psychology Professor, Florida Institute of Technology; Past President, Society for Personality Assessment

"As masters of the MMPI, the text is clinically informative throughout, though its interpretive gold comes when the authors draw on relevant data, clinical lore, and personal knowledge to provide insightful and rich descriptions of 105 patterns of MMPI-2 clinical scale elevations, each accompanied by treatment recommendations and experience-near therapeutic feedback for the client that will be treasured by both novice and seasoned clinicians alike." -- Gregory J. Meyer, PhD, University of Toledo

"This well-organized textbook provides research and easy-to-follow interpretation guildlines, including cutting scores for most of the important and well-used scales on both the MMPI-2 and MMPI-2-RF. It is comprehensive in its coverage and is a solid work of scholarship, which is recommended for seasoned practitioners, students and researchers desiring a reference guide for interpretation and understanding of MMPI test results." -- Alan M. Jaffe, PsyD, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in the Department of Psychiatry

"Psychological Assessment With the MMPI-2/MMPI-2-RF is an excellent resource tool for students as well as established professionals. It is thorough, it is well researched and it provides easy-to-use guidelines on interpretation. Psychological Assessment With the MMPI-2/MMPI-2-RF is an extremely useful and welcome update for all those in the psychological assessment community." -- Elizabeth E. Foster, Journal of Personality Assessment

"In this volume, leading MMPI experts provide rich descriptions of people who elevate on the various scales neatly distilled from the literature compiled in over seven decades of experience with the test. This information is readily accessible in the Code Pattern Look-Up Table. The inclusion of suggested "Therapeutic Feedback Language" for individual code patterns makes this book a wonderful springboard for Collaborative/Therapeutic Assessment. The whole text is an excellent resource for new learners and experienced users of the test alike." -- Philip J. Keddy, Ph.D., Adjunct Faculty, Clinical (PsyD) Program, Wright Institute, Berkeley, CA. Co-translator and co-editor of Rorschach's Psychodiagnostics, 100th Anniversary Edition (2021)
