Abstract: "James N. Butcher has updated his popular book, A Beginner's Guide to the MMPI-2. Like the first, this edition provides a readable but thorough introduction to the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory - 2 (MMPI-2), the most widely researched and broadly used personality assessment instrument. This primer, written by one of the authors of the MMPI-2, will be useful for nonpsychologist professionals who need a quick overview of the test as well as for students of clinical and personality assessment who seek a reliable introductory text."--Jacket.
