Presenter:  Richard W Handel, PhD

This webinar presentation provides a brief overview of the rationale for and methods used to develop the MMPI-A-RF, and the various materials available to score and interpret the test. The MMPI-A-RF features 48 empirically validated scales and takes only 25-30 minutes to administer. The test is designed to aid clinicians in identifying a broad array of mental disorders among adolescents in clinical, educational, forensic, and medical settings. The MMPI-A-RF is also designed to measure treatment progress when administered across varying points in the treatment process.

This webinar presentation provides a brief overview of the rationale for, and methods used to develop the MMPI-2-RF, and the various materials available to score and interpret the test. Composed of 338 items, with the RC (Restructured Clinical) Scales at its core, the MMPI-2-RF builds on the strengths of the MMPI®-2. It features 51 new and revised empirically validated scales and takes only 35-50 minutes to administer. The MMPI-2-RF was released in August 2008. The MMPI-2-RF aids clinicians in the assessment of mental disorders, identification of specific problem areas, and treatment planning in a variety of settings.

Presenter:  Robert P Archer, PhD

This webinar will provide attendees with further information on the MMPI-A-RF, development and evidence-based interpretation, and give practitioners additional details on how to interpret MMPI-A-RF results in various settings. Dr. Archer will offer illustrative case examples that demonstrate how using the MMPI-A-RF can enhance clinical effectiveness and efficiency.

This webinar is designed for individuals familiar with the MMPI-A-RF, for example, those who have completed the 60-minute MMPI-A-RF: Basic Overview webinar or read Dr. Archer’s book Assessing Adolescent Psychopathology: MMPI-A/MMPI-A-RF (4th ed.).

Presenter:  Martin Sellbom, PhD

This advanced forensic webinar is intended for practitioners who wish to know more about the benefits of using the MMPI-2-RF in forensic settings. Join Dr. Martin Sellbom of the University of Otago (New Zealand) as he discusses how to remain current in assessment by adopting the MMPI-2-RF in your forensic practice and how the test’s transparent, straightforward interpretation leads to a better understanding of test results vis-à-vis the MMPI-2. Dr. Sellbom will cover some general considerations for using the test in forensic psychology practice, and offer illustrative case comparisons that demonstrate how using the MMPI-2-RF can enhance clinical effectiveness and efficiency.

Presenter:  Dave Corey, PhD, ABPP

This advanced webinar focuses on using the MMPI-2-RF Police Candidate Interpretive Report (PCIR) in combination with measures of normal personality, collateral/background information, and clinical interview findings to determine a candidate’s psychological suitability for police work. Additional topics will include legal considerations and best practices. Use of the PCIR in these assessments will be illustrated by the application of a comprehensive model that integrates diverse findings from actual case materials.

This webinar is designed for individuals familiar with the MMPI-2-RF – for example, those who have attended the MMPI-2-RF: Basic Overview webinar or the MMPI-2-RF: Police and Law Enforcement webinar. CE credits are offered for attending the live webinar session
