The MMPI-A in Forensic Assessment.(from the chapter) This chapter reviews information and issues vital to those who use the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory for Adolescents (MMPI-A) in forensic assessments, as well as to those (e.g., attorneys) who encounter its use in forensic contexts. The focus is on the MMPI-A, but the chapter also includes information relevant to conducting forensic evaluations with adolescents in order to meet the highest standards of practice and to withstand close scrutiny in the adversarial forensic system. The first section reviews the development of the MMPI-A for those who are new to the instrument. The second section discusses essential steps for those who are considering using the MMPI-A in a forensic assessment. The third section looks at the evolving research on the MMPI-A and highlights two casebooks that provide information and case examples that illustrate case interpretation. The fourth section examines the ways in which the MMPI-A can identify invalid or misleading responses.
