Half a century after the collapse of the Nazi regime and the Third
Reich, scholars from a range of fields continue to examine the
causes of Nazi Germany. An increasing number of young Americans are
attempting to understand the circumstances that led to the rise of
the Nazi party and the subsequent Holocaust, as well as the
implication such events may have for today as the world faces a
resurgence of neo-Nazism, ethnic warfare, and genocide. In the
months following World War II, extensive psychiatric and
psychological testing was performed on over 200 Nazis in an effort
to understand the key personalities of the Third Reich and of those
individuals who "just followed orders." In addressing these issues,
the current volume examines the strange history of over 200
Rorschach Inkblot protocols that were administered to Nazi war
criminals and answers such questions as: * Why the long delay in
publishing protocols? * What caused such jealousies among the
principals? * How should the protocols be interpreted? * Were the
Nazis monsters or ordinary human beings? This text delivers a
definitive and comprehensive study of the psychological functioning
of Nazi war criminals -- both the elite and the rank-and-file. In
order to apply a fresh perspective to understanding the causes that
created such antisocial behavior, these analyses lead to a
discussion within the context of previous work done in social and
clinical psychology. Subjects discussed include the authoritarian
personality, altruism, obedience to authority, diffusion of
responsibility, and moral indifference. The implications for
current political events are also examined as Neo-Nazism,
anti-Semitism, and ethnic hate are once again on the rise. While
the book does contain some technical material relating to the
psychological interpretations, it is intended to be a scholarly
presentation written in a narrative style. No prior knowledge of
psychological testing is necessary, but it should be of great
benefit for those interested in the Rorschach Inkblot test, or with
a special interest in psychological testing, personality
assessment, and the history of psychology. It is also intended for
readers with a broad interest in Nazi Germany.
Assessing Adolescent Psychopathology: MMPI-A / MMPI-A-RF, Fourth
Edition provides updated recommendations for researchers and
clinicians concerning the MMPI-A, the most widely used objective
personality test with adolescents, and also introduces the
MMPI-A-Restructured Form (MMPI-A-RF), the newest form of the MMPI
for use with adolescents. Further, this fourth edition includes
comprehensive information on both MMPI forms for adolescents,
including descriptions of the development, structure, and
interpretive approaches to the MMPI-A and the MMPI-A-RF. This text
provides extensive clinical case examples of the interpretation of
both tests, including samples of computer based test package
output, and identifies important areas of similarities and
differences between these two important tests of adolescent
psychopathology.
The first edition of Personality Assessment provided an overview of
the most popular self-report and performance-based personality
assessment instruments. The chapter authors were key members in
creating or developing the research base for the eight test
instruments covered in the book. The text was geared with
graduate-level clinical, school, and counseling psychology courses
in mind. While still retaining all the attractive features of the
first edition, this revision will reflect the advances in the field
since 2008. Chapter contributors updated and expanded on
reliability and validity data, clinical utility, multicultural
considerations, and implications for therapeutic assessment.
Another distinctive feature of this second edition is a companion
website that features ancillary materials such as PowerPoints and
test banks.

This book provides, in a single volume, an extensive,
research-based evaluation of the most popular clinical assessment
tools as applied in forensic settings. These widely used
instruments often require important modifications in their
administration and interpretation when used for forensic purposes,
and it is vital that the clinician is intimately familiar with
their correct application, as well as their limitations. The test
instruments included are analyzed by senior figures in the field of
psychological assessment who are uniquely qualified to discuss them
because they have either had a crucial role in the development of
the tests, or they have dedicated their careers to advancing our
understanding of these clinical assessment measures. Each chapter
begins with a summary of the development of the assessment
instrument in its more traditional applications in clinical
settings, and then considers its utilization in forensic settings.
The types of forensic issues which have been addressed with that
instrument are reviewed, and an illustrative case example is given
which reflects the types of uses and limitations of the assessment
technique when applied in a forensic context. New in this edition
are a chapter on the MMPI-2-RF and separate chapters for the adult
and youth versions of the Hare Psychopathy Checklist. Psychologists
using assessment instruments in applied forensic settings will find
this to be a valuable and practical source of information, as will
attorneys wishing to gain an understanding of the application of
these psychological assessment approaches in the courtroom.
