University of Minnesota Press Interpreting the MMPI-3

An essential guide to detailed and accurate interpretation of the MMPI-3 The MMPI-3 builds on the history and strengths of the MMPI instruments to provide an empirically validated, psychometrically up-to-date standard for psychological assessment. Updating and expanding the information found in MMPI-3 test manuals, Interpreting the MMPI-3 is an indispensable resource for practicing clinicians and a vital textbook for graduate psychological assessment courses that use and study this singular psychological instrument. Yossef S. Ben-Porath, coauthor of the MMPI-3, and Martin Sellbom, a leading expert on the MMPI instruments, provide detailed descriptions and interpretive recommendations for test scales, along with illustrative cases from a wide variety of settings, including forensic (criminal and civil), medical, and personnel screening. This core interpretive content places the MMPI-3 at the forefront of contemporary psychological assessment, while also providing important background on older versions of the test. This volume includes an in-depth look at the test’s history, development, administration, and interpretation, and it also addresses diversity-sensitive assessment with the test. A comprehensive guide for clinicians, researchers, and students, this book sets the standard for interpretation of and instruction on the MMPI-3. A book-based exam offering Continuing Education (CE) credit is available for this publication. Visit upress.umn.edu/test-division for more information.
