Interpreting the MMPI-2-RF
DESCRIPTION:
The material presented in the course is based on a broad literature that provides the foundations for empirically validated applications of the MMPI-2-RF. The course provides the information necessary for a qualified user to interpret the MMPI-2-RF in the wide range of settings in which the test is used.
The book content builds on the psychometric and assessment foundations provided by doctoral-level psychology training programs by providing instruction on how to apply this knowledge when using the MMPI-2-RF. The book-based exam tests attendees’ acquired knowledge of the rationale for and methods used in developing the MMPI-2-RF, the conceptual foundations for using the MMPI-2-RF to assess for various threats to protocol validity, key features of the MMPI-2-RF validity and substantive scales, and the recommended approach for developing an integrated MMPI-2-RF interpretation.
