A comprehensive, evidence-based handbook for using the MMPI-3 in forensic evaluations
Since its release in 2020, the MMPI-3 has become a cornerstone of clinical and forensic assessment. Forensic Mental Health Assessment With the MMPI-3 is an essential, evidence-based resource that explores use of the MMPI-3 in a variety of forensic contexts. In addition to elucidating the test’s development and the interpretation of its scales, this comprehensive guide delves into critical forensic issues including admissibility (e.g., Daubert criteria), telehealth assessment, cross-cultural considerations, and response bias.
Dustin B. Wygant and Martin Sellbom draw on contemporary research to discuss the unique challenges of forensic evaluations. Through case analyses, this book illustrates how to interpret and integrate MMPI-3 profiles into clinical and diagnostic impressions, and it addresses common psycholegal questions in criminal (e.g., competency to stand trial, insanity), civil (e.g., disability), and family (e.g., child custody) contexts.
Providing practical insights into real-world MMPI-3 applications, Forensic Mental Health Assessment With the MMPI-3 is an indispensable resource for forensic practitioners and legal professionals.
