AUTHOR SOURCE SELECTION ABSTRACT
2009 Forensic implications of the MMPI-2 restructured form Allan Posthuma, Ph.D. psychology CD 10604 The MMPI-2-RF is a stand alone 338-item version of the MMPI-2 with 50 scales (including a shorter FBS, 7 revised validity scales, a new infrequent somatic complaint scale and a revised MMPI-2 PSY-5). While the 2003 RC scales remain, the newer RF includes new measures of psychopathology that show promise in forensic applications. While information from the MMPI-2 can be found on the MMPI-2-RF, these new scales still require further research in forensic applications. This presentation will review what is currently available in the forensic arena and the implications in choosing the MMPI-2-RF over the MMPI-2. Dr. Allan Posthuma practices in Vancouver, B.C., Canada. He has conducted research on the forensic applications of the MMPI-2 since 1993.

2008 Using the MMPI-2RF in forensic evaluations James W Schutte PhD psychology CD 10746 The new Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2-Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF) represents a substantial change to the most widely-used objective personality assessment instrument. Since this new test is considerably shorter than the MMPI-2, it is likely to be used with increasing frequency in the coming years. This presentation will discuss the new validity and clinical scales in the MMPI-2-RF, as well as the new somatic, internalizing, interpersonal, and interest scales. Suggestions will be offered for appropriate forensic use of the MMPI-2-RF, and likely areas of cross-examination will be addressed.

2005 Termination of parental rights: a functional contextual analysis of demographic variables and MMPI-II profile comparisons Ezzo FR
Evans TM psychology tape 3172 Child maltreatment is a major problem with a mortality rate of 5.4 out of every 100,000 children ages four and under. Psychologists are increasingly involved with assisting jurists in termination of parental rights dispositions. Risk factors and demographic variables have been identified in the extant research. This study examined descriptive data for 22 variables from 53 non-randomly reviewed cases in a Northeast Ohio juvenile court where termination of parental rights was at issue. Means and percentages for the 22 variables were calculated that provided descriptive data for characteristics that often form a nexus between psychological and legal decisions in termination of parental rights cases. Implications of these findings for further research on the identification of families at risk are discussed.

2002 Fibromyalgia revisited - Axis II factors in MMPI and historical data Allan R Gerson PhD psychology tape 2026 This presentation is a follow-up to last year's preliminary study on Axis II variables and fibromyalgia. Fuller history and test data will be presented in an attempt to prove the hypothesis that fibromyalgia differs from pain syndromes as a result of underlying Axis II traits. Many workers compensation applicants complain of fibromyalgia. Evaluations and treatment need to contain an awareness of underlying Axis II problems which may affect outcome if not investigated thoroughly. This presentation is designed to draw attention to potential treatment plan issues and distinguish between work and nonwork related factors.

2002 Faking PTSD from a motor vehicle accident on the MMPI-2 Daine Moyer PhD psychology journal 8191 The MMPI-2 is often used to assess posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in individuals who claim psychological injury as a result of a motor vehicle accident. There is concern that attorneys can coach plaintiffs to fake PTSD.

1997 Forensic MMPI-2 profiles-normative limitations impose interpretive restrictions with both males and females Percy Wright PhD psychology journal 8166 The MMPI-2 is one of the most widely used psychological tests, both in general practice and in forensic settings However, normative data collected in forensic contexts is sparse, especially with respect to females, rendering the detection of both response bias and potential malingering difficult. This lacuna renders identification of putative female difficulties elusive in general. To help remedy this situation, the present study summarizes MMPI-2 data collected within a large forensic setting, comparing groups by sex and diagnostic categories.

1996 Female offenders-a description of their pre-trial MMPI evaluation Yekeen Aderibigbe MD psychiatry journal 8058 The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) profiles of 71 females offenders in a forensic psychiatric ward were examined. The group was deviant on several indicators of psychopathology; the mean profile for the group showed elevations on scales 4 (PD), 6 (PA) and 8 (SC). These scales are typical of individuals with the diagnosis of borderline, schizotypal or antisocial personality disorder. The group was likely to cope poorly with stress, become easily angered, and show interpersonal difficulties, paranoid characteristics, antisocial behavior and traits. Individuals with this profile are likely to have trouble with the law, are unable to profit from experience by anticipating or predicting the consequences of their behavior, and are likely to use defense mechanisms, such as projection, rationalization and externalization.

1996 Traditional MMPI-2 indicators and initial presentation in custody evaluations Jeffrey Siegel PhD psychology journal 8165 Divorce is a highly stressful event. No contemporary issue has affected the family more over the last several decades than the dramatic increase in divorce and child custody litigation. The avalanche of emotions can produce anxiety and depression, as most experienced clinicians can affirm. This situation is heightened in intensity when child custody becomes an issue. The present study tested the published MMPI-2 norms versus those of parents involved in child custody litigation

1995 Preliminary findings on MMPI Cannot Say responses with personal injury litigants Timothy Michals MD
Steven Samuel PhD psychiatry journal 8056 Item omission on the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) as indexed by the Cannot Say (?) Scale is an infrequent phenomena and relatively little research has addressed this scale. This study reports on 98/398 individuals who in the course of a personal injury psychological testing evaluation omitted a greater than expected (i.e. > 5) number of items on the MMPI. Thirty-three subjects (33 percent) omitted six to ten items, forty-seven (47 percent) omitted eleven to thirty items, and eighteen subjects (18 percent) omitted greater than thirty items. Most frequently omitted items as well as solutions for reducing MMPI item omission are presented. It is recommended that additional research using MMPI and MMPI-II is needed to determine types of and reasons for item omission in personal injury and forensic psychiatric populations.

1994 Revised dissimulation scale applicable to the MMPI-2 Bruce Leckart PhD psychology journal 8155 In developing the MMPI-2, 11 items of the 40 that appear on the Dissimulation Scale Revised (DsR) on the original MMPI were omitted. The purpose of the current study was to determine if the remaining 29 items (DSR, MMPI-2) produce comparable scores to the original 40. One hundred and twenty consecutively referred psychiatric disability claimants who applied for workers' compensation benefits took the MMPI. The subjects were selected with the single restriction that they fill six equal gender/ethnic groups: African American, Hispanic, and Caucasian; and males and females. The smallest correlation among the six groups between the DsR and DSR, MMPI-2 scores was +.914 indicating that there was little difference between the entire 40 items and the remaining 29. There were no gender or ethnic differences on the two scales.

psychiatry tape 10144 Presentation is designed to help professionals understand the application of psychological testing in personal injury evaluations, organize and report pertinent information from the MMPI/ MMPI-2 in these evaluations, and more effectively gather psychological testing data from personal injury claimants.

1993 Use of the MMPI-2 in custody disputes --fraught with difficulties and bias Allan B. Posthuma, PhD
Psychology tape 1370 Although the MMPI-2 is commonly used in custody disputes as a measure of the litigant's personality, it is fraught with difficulties in this context. The validity indicators typically indicate an overly positive bias, which courts are prone to interpret as lying, thus throwing the typical thick file pleadings into jeopardy. Secondly, reliance on computer based interpretation often paints an erroneous picture of the individual. This presentation utilizes normative data from the author's clinical files as well as a survey of the literature. Participants will become more informed as to the use of the MMPI-2 in custody disputes, limitations of computer generated interpretations, misuse of validity indicators and problems of accurate assessment of litigants in custody disputes

1992 Utilizing the MMPI in the evaluation of child molesters Bruce Duthie, PhD psychology tape 1992 Brief review of the MMPI literature on sex offenders presented. Specific literature related to child molesters including the speakers' cluster analytic model is discussed and sample profiles and interpretations given.

1991 MMPI profiles in a correctional setting- effects of situational adaptation and stress Glenace Edwall, Ph.D. psychology tape 1740 MMPI profiles for 660 male inmates in a Texas Department of Corrections facility were obtained as part of initial screening procedures in an intake unit, along with a brief measure of subjective experience of stress. Change in stress is significantly related to perceived psychological functioning. There is a clear need for correctional institutions intervene to reduce the stressful impact on inmates, particularly at the entry level, so as to avoid later problems for the inmate as well as the prison population.

1990 Forensic utility of MMPI contemporary norms Bruce Duthie PhD
Alfred French MD psychology journal 5006 The old and contemporary MMPI norms were compared employing factor analysis and correlations in a mixed forensic sample. Results suggest that they are essentially equivalent.

1989 Initial appraisal of the forensic utility of the MCMI-2 and the MMPI-2 Smith RS psychology tape 10074 Update on changes and requirements that have been introduced in these two tests and how the changes are expected to enhance their usefulness in forensic cases.

1989 Three patterns of MMPI profiles following neurotoxin exposure Rosemarie Bowler PhD psychology journal 5047 Three patterns of MMPI profiles have been found in sixty subjects referred to an occupational health clinic for evaluation following neurotoxin exposure (hydrocarbon solvents, pesticides, methyl bromide, heavy metals, carbon monoxide) These can be characterized as somatoform, depression and anxiety phobia. Specific symptoms are related to each diagnostic category. Workers' compensation law, Social Security disability evaluations and toxic tort litigation are discussed. The usefulness of the MMPI is supported by the findings of this study for diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of patients exposed to neurotoxins. The MMPI as a well validated instrument may also be of assistance in proving psychic injury claims of neurotoxin exposed workers in the court.

1983 Defending the MMPI as expert witness Robert Kurlychek psychology journal 6045 A flurry of mercantile publications have appeared, aimed at showing attorneys how to discredit psychiatrists and psychologists in court. Criticisms of specific psychological tests are offered in the legal literature but little in reply has appeared in journals for the mental health professional. Author replies using the MMPI, examining the suggested ploys, tactics and questions, and discusses possible responses and reverse strategies.
