COURSE OVERVIEW

The   MMPI®-2   instrument   remains the most widely used and widely researched test of adult psychopathology.  Used by clinicians to assist with the diagnosis of mental disorders, and the selection of appropriate treatment methods, the MMPI®-2 test continues to help meet the assessment needs of mental health professionals in an ever-changing environment. Due  to  its  extensive  construction  and  ongoing  validation  process,  the  MMPI®-2  is  useful  in  settings  where  objectivity  and  accuracy  may  be  particularly important (e.g. forensic assessments and placement in high-risk occupations).Ethics in psychological testing and assessment will be explored and discussed,  as  well  as  the  process  of  MMPI  interpretation.  The format of a psychological report relating to civil and criminal matters using the MMPI and common pitfalls to avoid are included in the training.
