Abstract: Friedman and his colleagues in this third edition of their textbook provide their readership with a broadened discussion built upon the second edition of their book. The MMPI-2 is an assessment instrument, which is useful adjunct to assessing intellectual and cognitive functioning. This edition is supplemented with two additional chapters including the development and interpretation of the Restructured Clinical (RC) scales and the Restructured Form (RF) of the MMPI-2. The University of Minnesota Press released the RF in 2008. The RF was intended as an alternative addition to, rather than a replacement, for the MMPI-2. This revised book contains a section which provides codetype descriptors for the MMPI-2 and is expanded to include narratives to include useful feedback for patients/clients, which cover most of the 104 codetypes. This updated text includes more than 250 additional references.
