Author Description

"This new edition incorporates information from a large number of recent empirical research studies and includes approximately 400 new references. It also provides details on several new scales that were developed after the MMPI-2 was published. Two new validity scales, Superlative (S) and Infrequency-Psychopathology F(p), and two addiction scales, Addiction Acknowledgment (AAS) and Addiction Potential (APS), are presented. The Hostility (Ho) scale, which has been very successful in predicting negative health events such as coronary artery disease, is also described."--Jacket.
