The "Advances in Personality Assessment Series" began in the early
1980s to facilitate the rapid dissemination of important new
developments in theory and research on all aspects of personality
assessment. Impressed with the extensive research on test
development and validation that was going on at that time, the
editors were concerned with the limited publication resources
devoted to personality assessment. With this series, they hoped to
provide a publication opportunity and resource for reports of
personality assessment research and/or clinical practice that might
not conveniently fit in journal format because of length, focus, or
content.
In keeping with the goals of this series, which are to facilitate
the rapid dissemination of important new developments in theory and
research on all aspects of personality assessment, the eight
chapters in this volume examine a wide range of topics. These
include research investigations and clinical applications involving
traditional assessment techniques -- such as the Rorschach and the
MMPI-2 -- and promising but less known procedures. Specific topics
examined in the individual chapters range from the assessment of
appreciation of humor to assessment of marital distress. A review
of the contents of this volume once again demonstrates the
diversity in assessment philosophy, theoretical orientation, and
research methodology that characterizes the field of personality
assessment.
First published in 1990. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.
This volume illustrates the diversity in assessment philosophy,
theoretical orientation, and research methodology that is
characteristic in the field of personality assessment. Topics range
from anxiety about test taking and teaching science, to the
emotional distress evoked by an environmental catastrophe.
In this book, 30 eminent contributors, from diverse psychological disciplines, address central issues in psychological assessment. Topics include ethical considerations in personality assessment, assessment of racial and ethnic minorities, and assessment of the elderly. The book maintains a practical, context-based approach throughout, and will appeal to both students and psychologists.
The establishment of frank and honest communication is one of the
most important early goals of psychotherapy. Indeed, the most
prominent challenge in the early stages of treatment is to develop
a comfortable relationship that allows disclosure. In this volume,
the authors show that objectively interpreted personality measures
can be applied in psychotherapeutic assessments to facilitate an
understanding of the patient and a thriving treatment program.

The APA Handbook of Psychopathology provides a broad perspective on new scientific developments in the study of mental disorders. In addition to providing an overview of symptoms and classification of disorders, the handbook discusses the history of psychopathology, behavioural genetics, cognitive research methodology, brain imaging, behavioural observation, personality assessment, and developments in social policy, government policy, and legal decisions. The handbook also addresses the considerable challenges produced by rapid progress in the field, including the evolution of diagnostic systems that define disorders. Material on each disorder is presented with a focus upon significant facets: The clinical picture, wherein contributors describe the symptoms of the disorder and its associated features. Factors involved in the development of the disorder. Relationships or comorbidity with other disorders. Different assessment and treatment approaches. The handbook provides a comprehensive analysis of research and advances in treatment in the contexts in which behaviour abnormalities occur.
The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) is one of the most widely researched and used assessment tools in psychology. Forensic psychologists often rely on it to evaluate clients involved in civil and criminal cases. Because the test results can have a significant influence on court decisions, psychologists need to understand how to make full use of the MMPI-2 in forensic settings. Building on his popular series of MMPI-2 books, James Butcher and his co-authors present this guide that is based on decades of research and personal experience. Following a brief overview of the MMPI-2 and its various scales, the authors further explore its applications in various forensic settings, including personal injury and workers compensation claims, immigration relief and deportation cases, and criminal investigations. Clear, practical guidelines bolstered by illustrative case examples will help psychologists understand legal and cultural factors that may influence the assessment process; evaluate neuropsychological issues, such as brain injury; employ computerized interpretations; and present results in testimony and written reports.
The best resource for interpreting these widely used personality assessment tests. Essentials of MMPI-2 and MMPI-A Interpretation presents innovative interpretive strategies for both the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2, or MMPI-2, and the adaptation for adolescents, the MMPI-A. James N. Butcher and Carolyn L. Williams detail the rationale for the revision and development of the instruments and their scales and describe how to administer, score, profile, code, and interpret the tests. This revised edition includes the most recent MMPI research, including new information on ethnic background and cultural setting as they relate to assessment. Focusing primarily on studies of profile validity and external correlates, the revision also includes interpretive guidelines for several scales newly introduced into the MMPI tests. A new workbook includes exercises related to Essentials of MMPI-2 and MMPI-A Interpretation in areas such as important test constructs, the interpretation of profile validity, and clinical and content scales.
