A Beginner's Guide to the MMPI-a

Carolyn L. Williams and James N. Butcher explain in jargon-free language, how the MMPI-A was developed for use with adolescents and how it can be interpreted using the multiple scales added over its almost 7 -year history. The book walks the reader through the steps of test administration, scoring, interpretation, and how to integrate the MMPI-A into a psychological evaluation. The authors also demystify computerized interpretive systems for the MMPI-A and provide step-by-step guidance on the best practices for sharing their interpretive reports with adolescents and parents in MMPI-A feedback sessions.
