Rezensionen

"Dr. Archer is the reigning expert on the application of the MMPI family of techniques to adolescents, and the fourth edition of his classic work in this area provides the user with a strong historical foundation as well as updates concerning the most important contemporary developments in the field. As was the case with previous editions, Dr. Archer provides a volume that combines comprehensive scholarship with keen clinical insight. A must read for any clinician or researcher wishing to use these assessment methods."-Dr. Les Morey, Department of Psychology, Texas A&M University

"This excellent and timely new edition retains the important emphasis on developmental considerations in assessing adolescents, provides updated information on MMPI-A research findings, and instructs us on the newly released MMPI-A-RF. Comparisons of and distinctions between the MMPI-A and MMPI-A-RF are drawn in a highly informative manner, further illuminated in clinical case examples involving both measures. This is undoubtedly the premier contemporary text on assessing adolescent personality and psychopathology with MMPI instruments."-Radhika Krishnamurthy, Psy.D., ABAP, Clinical Psychology Professor, Florida Institute of Technology

"Dr. Archer has produced a major update of his seminal interpretive guide for the MMPI- A by adding chapters detailing the development and interpretation of the first major adaptation of the MMPI-A, the MMPI RF A. Authored by the foremost expert in the MMPI A and co-author of the MMPI A RF, this edition becomes an indispensable tool for both clinicians and researchers engaged in the assessment of adolescent development and psychopathology. Assessing Adolescent Psychopathology, 4rth ed. provides practical interpretive guidelines for indispensable tools in the clinical evaluation of adolescents."-Paul A. Arbisi, PhD, ABAP, ABPP, Staff Clinical Psychologist, Minneapolis VA Health Care Center, Professor, Departments of Psychiatry and Psychology, University of Minnesota
