Track A: Basic Interpretation of the MMPI-2, Part 2
Saturday, February 16, 2008

Educational Goals: Introduce the MMPI-2 to individuals with limited or no experience with the test by providing a rationale for use in clinical assessment and summarizing the interpretive literature, including empirical correlates of the scales.

Learning Objectives • Participants will learn:
• How to interpret the content scales
• How to interpret the supplementary scales
• To integrate information from the various MMPI-2 scales into a comprehensive interpretation

Track A: Advanced Topics in MMPI-2 Interpretation
Sunday, February 17, 2008

Educational Goals: Designed for individuals familiar with the MMPI-2. This workshop will provide information on interpreting MMPI-2 Personality Psychopathology Five (PSY-5) and Restructured Clinical (RC) Scales, using MMPI-2 for treatment planning, and using non-gendered and non-K-corrected MMPI-2 norms.

Learning Objectives • Participants will learn:
• About development and interpretation of Personality Psychopathology Five (PSY-5) Scales
• To interpret the MMPI-2 Restructured Clinical (RC) Scales
• How to use the MMPI-2 in treatment planning
• Current thinking concerning the use of non-gendered and non-K-corrected MMPI-2 norms

Track B

Track B: Forensic Applications of the MMPI-2, Part 1
Friday, February 15, 2008

Educational Goals: Provide an overview of the use of the MMPI-2 in forensic evaluations as well as information on issues of admissibility of MMPI-2-based opinions, implications for forensic assessment of recent MMPI-2 developments, and appropriate use of the MMPI-2 in disability determinations and child custody evaluations.

Learning Objectives • Participants will learn:
• About applications of the MMPI-2 in forensic settings
• About admissibility of MMPI-2-based opinions
• The implications for forensic assessment of recent MMPI-2 developments, such as the RC Scales, with an emphasis on non-K-corrected scores
• To use the MMPI-2 appropriately in conducting disability determinations
• Appropriate use of the MMPI-2 in child custody evaluations
