A Bond With the Past: The MMPI-2 Basic Clinical Scales(from the chapter) In this chapter, the author uses homogeneous content themes that make up the MMPI-2 clinical scales to refine the examiner's understanding of the high elevation on the scale. A particular response to some of the item themes can provide important clues about which of the MMPI-2 clinical scale correlates should be emphasized in an evaluation. This approach to test interpretation is a scale development and interpretation method that evolved considerably over the past three decades and has gained an important place in empirically based personality assessment.
