The Minnesota Multi-phasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) has often been used to evaluate clients in civil and criminal cases. This book was written to serve as a reference for psychologists to understand how the role of the MMPI-2 in judicial proceedings and how to use it in the most effective manner. The authors begin by explaining what the MMPI-2 is and what the various scales look like. Using extensive examples, including personal injury and worker's compensation claims, they then consider the practical forensic applications. Also included are case studies that explore issues such as immigration relief, deportation and criminal investigation. They take specific care to cover the legal and cultural factors that can influence assessment. Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
