Description: "Classifying Criminal Offenders with the MMPI-2 describes how the system was originally derived and validated and gives instructions on how to classify the original MMPI and MMPI-2 profiles of male and female criminal offenders. It integrates the findings of more than one hundred independent studies with previously unpublished original research investigating the characteristics of each of the system's empirically derived male and female types.

On the basis of these data, the authors recommend the optimal change agent, treatment program, and setting for each type of offender."--BOOK JACKET.
