Hallmark Features
|
- Authors are leading authorities in the field of personality assessment.
- Authored versus edited text ensures more consistent level of coverage and organization of material.
- Focuses on the most popular personality assessment instruments (e.g., MMPI, Millon Inventories, PAI, NEO-PI, CPI, Rorschach, TAT, Sentence Completion, Drawing tests) in more detail than texts that provide thumbnail sketches of all the available instruments.
- Includes special topics (i.e., computerized assessment, ethical and legal issues, and report writing) not contained in other texts.
- An Appendix presents samples of the narrative interpretive reports generated by computer programs that are available for six of the measures discussed in chapters of the book: the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2), the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-Adolescent (MMPI-A), the Millon Multiaxial Clinical Inventory-III (MCMI-III), the Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI), the NEO Personality Inventory-Revised (NEO-PI-R), and the Rorschach Inkblot Method (RIM). These sample reports illustrate the types of statements produced by software programs and the manner in which they capture aspects of personality functioning identified by these six assessment instruments.
