Summary
Essentials of MMPI-2 and MMPI-A Interpretation presents innovative interpretive strategies for both the Minnesota
Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2, or MMPI-2, and the adaptation for adolescents, the MMPI-A. James N. Butcher
and Carolyn L. Williams detail the rationale for the revision and development of the instruments and their scales,
and describe how to administer, score, profile, code, and interpret the tests.
The revised edition includes the most recent MMPI research, including new information on ethnic background and
cultural setting as they relate to assessment. Focusing primarily on studies of profile validity and external correlates,
the revision also includes interpretive guidelines for several scales that will be introduced into the MMPI tests
in 2000.
