Psychological Assessment With the MMPI-2 Reviews
| 11 of 11 people found the following review helpful  Good clinician's tool, By Psy D (Auburn, wa United States) - See all my reviews This review is from: Psychological Assessment With the MMPI-2 (Paperback) I am using this book for a graduate class, and I can only say that it has been invaluable. This book is a must-have for any aspiring clinician that plans to use the MMPI-2 for assessment. It has everything you need and more, and breaks down the scales in a comprehensible manner. Must Have For Any Clinician, This review is from: Psychological Assessment With the MMPI-2 (Paperback) I found this book to be an excellent resource. It provides a detail break down of every aspect of the test and in combination. I was required to purchase other books and found out that they left a lot of information out which this book did not. I highly recommend this book to anybody who will be performing an MMPI-2. These test are difficult enough to score, interpret and know how to write it in a layman's format. I found using this book to make that process much easier, but above all explain what it all truly means. Overall it is "an all in one resource book, must have." The book is excellently written. Not your ordinary "cookbook!", By Anna Myers (Williston, VT USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Psychological Assessment With the MMPI-2 (Paperback) This book is simply a "must-have" for assessment psychologists! Unlike other MMPI-2 books, this reference includes 2 and 3-point codetype interpretations, as well as interpretations and descriptions for the most common clinical scales. Decades of literature is summarized and condensed to assist you in interpreting and communicating test findings, as well as in planning treatment. Wow. |
