In clear, accessible language, this book introduces readers to the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2), the most widely researched and broadly used personality assessment instrument.
Several updates have been made since the previous edition of this popular book, including new interpretive information, new areas for application, and—most importantly—a new chapter on the MMPI-2 Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF), a separate short instrument that beginners may confuse with the MMPI-2. Case studies are used to illustrate major concepts.
James N. Butcher, PhD, earned his bachelor's degree in psychology at Guilford College in Greensboro, North Carolina, and both his master's degree in experimental psychology and his doctorate in clinical psychology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Currently a professor emeritus in psychology at the University of Minnesota and former editor of the APA's journal Psychological Assessment, he was awarded Doctor Honoris Causa by the Free University of Brussels, Belgium, and received an honorary doctorate from the University of Florence in Italy for his cross-cultural research. He was selected by the University of Minnesota Press to serve on the committee to revise and restandardize the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI). He founded both the annual Symposium on Recent Developments in the Use of the MMPI and the International Conference on Personality Assessment. Recent books include the Oxford Handbook of Personality (2009), Practitioner's Guide to the MMPI–2 (2006), Use of the MMPI–2 in Court (3rd ed., with Ken Pope and Joyce Seelen, 2006), and Abnormal Psychology in Modern Life (14th ed., with Susan Mineka and Jill Hooley, 2010). Dr. Butcher also consults and testifies as an expert witness in trials involving the MMPI.
