Description
A primary aim of this text is to inform readers of the most common forensic applications of the instrument and, in doing so, provide a brief overview of the various psycholegal issues addressed. Each type of forensic psychological evaluation considers challenges both general and unique, including the impact such challenges have on the use of the MMPI2RF in these contexts.
Reviews
"The MMPI-2-RF brings many important advancements for use in the forensic specialty of psychology. To date, however, what has been lacking is how to apply these advances in a way that is responsive to the legal questions posed to the forensic psychologist. This book fills that gap. It has been carefully structured to provide both a general model of data interpretation and specific examples of how to use these data to answer specific forensic cases. It is a significant advancement in the literature of forensic psychological assessment."Daniel L. Davis, Ph.D., ABPP, Board Certified Forensic Psychologist
