Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Forensic Applications of the MMPI-2 (Advances in Public Administration) (Hardcover)
I spend a few hours in court regarding capacity, malingering, parenting issues. I was looking for a text that might shed some light on types of MMPI's that surface in similar areas. I was looking to improve diagnostic competency. Although there is certainly a lot of information, and that is why I gave it 4 stars, it didn't fill my particular education needs. Might help you. Good hunting!
