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 70-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.Table of Contents: Preface Understanding Adolescence: A Conceptual Framework for Personality and Behavior History and Development of the MMPI–A The Nuts and Bolts: Administering, Scoring, and Augmenting MMPI–A Assessments Getting Down to the Basics: Validity and Standard Scales Beyond the Basics: MMPI–A Content Measures, PSY-5, and Supplementary Scales Globalization of the MMPI–A: Making Culturally Inclusive Interpretations The MMPI–A and the Digital Age Putting It All Together: An Interpretive Strategy and Report Writing The Feedback Loop: Sharing MMPI–A Information With Adolescents and Parents Appendix A.
