Carolyn L. Williams and James N. Butcher explain in jargon-free language, how the MMPI-A was developed for use with adolescents and how it can be interpreted using the multiple scales added over its almost 7 -year history. The book walks the reader through the steps of test administration, scoring, interpretation, and how to integrate the MMPI-A into a psychological evaluation.

The authors also demystify computerized interpretive systems for the MMPI-A and provide step-by-step guidance on the best practices for sharing their interpretive reports with adolescents and parents in MMPI-A feedback sessions.

�ber die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Carolyn L. Williams, PhD, is an emeritus professor in the Division of Epidemiology and Community Health in the School of Public Health at the University of Minnesota. Her doctoral work was completed at the University of Georgia in clinical psychology with a comajor in child and family development.

In 993 she was named a fellow of APA Division 5 (Evaluation, Measurement, and Statistics) and a charter member and diplomate of the American Board of Assessment Psychology.

Dr. Williams has more than 3 years of experience in research, practice, and teaching about the MMPI, MMPI-2, and MMPI amp ndash A. She is a coauthor of the MMPI amp ndash A and many of its scales, including the Content Scales, Content Component Scales, the alcohol amp ndash drug problem scales (ACK and PRO), and PSY-5 Scales. With James N. Butcher, she developed the widely used computerized system The Minnesota Report: Adolescent Interpretive System and wrote the textbook Essentials of MMPI-2 and MMPI amp ndash A Interpretation.

In addition to her work on the MMPI instruments, Dr. Williams is a cocreator of Project Northland, published by the Hazelden Foundation. Project Northland is one of the few prevention programs in use in American schools with scientific evidence that its programs actually reduce alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use by adolescents. The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism funded Project Northland research from 99 to 2 7 and is currently funding follow-up research on a cohort from Chicago.

James N. Butcher, PhD, obtained his bachelor's degree in psychology at Guilford College in Greensboro, North Carolina, and his master of arts degree in experimental psychology and PhD in clinical psychology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He was awarded Doctor Honoris Causa by the Free University of Brussels, Belgium, and received an honorary doctorate from the University of Florence in Italy for his cross-cultural research, much of which was on the MMPI instruments.

Currently, he is a professor emeritus in psychology at the University of Minnesota and is a former editor of the APA journal Psychological Assessment. He consults and testifies as an expert witness in trials involving the MMPI amp ndash 2 and MMPI amp ndash A.

Dr. Butcher was the lead author of both the MMPI amp ndash A and MMPI amp ndash 2 and developed the Minnesota Reports, a computerized interpretive system, for the MMPI and then for the MMPI amp ndash 2 and MMPI amp ndash A (with Carolyn L. Williams).
