Dr. Archer's 1987 text, "Using the MMPI With Adolescents," received outstanding critical reviews and served as a comprehensive guide to the application of the original MMPI with teenagers. This text included a series of practical recommendations concerning the interpretive practices uniquely suited for this age group. The University of Minnesota Press has recently developed the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory - Adolescent (MMPI-A) which represents the first revision of the MMPI for use specifically with adolescents. As a member of the University of Minnesota Adolescent Project Committee responsible for the development of the MMPI-A, Dr. Archer is uniquely qualified to provide an in-depth introduction to this new instrument. The MMPI-A features the release of new dolescent norms based on a contemporary sample of 1620 adolescents, the revision of many traditional items to increase readability and relevance to adolescent development and psychopathology, and the inclusion of new items and scales. This guide was written to provide facts and recommendations on the essential features of the MMPI-A for those clinicians, students, and researchers interested in understanding and using this new instrument. The text reviews the reasons for the development of the MMPI-A, and discusses its salient features including new validity, content, and supplementary scales. MMPI-A single-scale and codetype correlates are presented, as well as clinical case examples illustrating interpretive principles. Throughout this book, emphasis is placed on presenting information that is of direct clinical relevance for practitioners, while also providing sufficient technical information and research data to serve as a guide for research efforts in this field.

A collection of illustrative adolescent case studies to aid clinicians in problem identification, diagnosis, and treatment planning—the only casebook for the MMPI-A-RF The MMPI-A-RF is linked to current models of psychopathology and personality, and features scales relevant for use with adolescents in a variety of clinical, forensic, and school settings. It mirrors the structure of the MMPI-2-RF, resulting in the most up-to-date, empirically based personality assessment for use with adolescents. Written by the authors of the earlier Case Studies for Interpreting the MMPI-A, this book continues the goal of serving as an authentic and illustrative guide for clinicians in understanding and using the MMPI-A-RF. Since the publication of the original Case Studies, much has changed for clinicians who assess and treat adolescents. The interpretive model described in this book demonstrates how the MMPI-A-RF can assist clinicians in assessing youth today by highlighting sixteen cases that broadly represent adolescents evaluated in clinical and forensic practice. In addition, one of the most common uses for the MMPI-A-RF is in the juvenile court setting—a landscape that has also dramatically changed since the publication of the original MMPI-A. Case Studies for Interpreting the MMPI-A-RF focuses on detailed forensic issues, including legal backgrounds, case law, and assessment methods specific to use of the MMPI-A-RF in juvenile court and related settings. Case Studies for Interpreting the MMPI-A-RF will assist clinicians in understanding MMPI-A-RF interpretation, while also being a valuable teaching tool for courses in assessment.

Completely revised and updated, MMPI-2: Assessing Personality and Psychopathology, Second Edition encompasses all that has been learned about the original and revised tests.

An expanded chapter addresses the psychometric characteristics of the original MMPI and of the MMPI-2 and includes information concerning comparability of the two tests.
