A Brief Overview(from the chapter) A subpoena can suddenly land a clinician in court to testify under oath about the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI). Courts can also appoint professionals to conduct independent psychological evaluations using the MMPI-2. Attorneys–and sometimes litigants themselves–retain professionals to administer standardized psychological tests as preparation for a court action. Expert witnesses testify about what the MMPI-2 has to say about individuals involved in violence, abuse, and discrimination. Attorneys encounter testimony about the MMPI in different guises. This book's purpose is to give expert witnesses and attorneys information, ideas, and resources to practice effectively when the MMPI is at issue, and to identify, avoid, and address problems such as those described in this chapter.
