difficult reading, but a must have for the MMPI

This book is not one you would ordinarily read cover-to-cover, but it is a must have for anyone who is using the MMPI. Greene is a MMPI genius and he knows the MMPI like no one else. I'm using his book more as a reference, and I'm using other books such as Butcher's to actually learn the MMPI.

Perfect Condition

The book was in great condition and came in a matter of days. This was a good first online purchasing experience for me.

A five-star text, but Graham's text is better for interpreting MMPI-2 profiles

If you want a very technical manual that is full of any and all information that you could ever hope for regarding the MMPI-2, this is the book for you. I mean, it has so much information, everything you'd want to know about the MMPI. I really mean it when I say that this is an excellent text for learning ABOUT the MMPI-2 and its scales. However, If you're looking for a manual to aid in interpreting MMPI-2 profiles I would go with the Graham text MMPI-2: Assessing Personality and Psychopathology

While the Graham text is almost just as good as Greene's text for learning ABOUT the MMPI-2 and it's scales (in some respects it's better because the language is not so technical), it is definately better organized than Greene's text for profile interpretation (the information presented in the Graham text itself is also more conducive to profile interpretation). Even though our assessment class used Greene's text, those of us who have it used Graham's text whenever we were given profiles to interpret in class or when we needed to interpret MMPI profiles in the clinic; it really is that much easier to use for this purpose.

In short, you come out a winner whether you buy Graham's text or Greene's text; they're both great books (I have both and I intend to keep both). Just keep in mind that one is better suited for learning ABOUT the MMPI than the other (Greene's; but not by much) and that one is better suited for interpreting the MMPI-2 than the other (Graham's; much better).

I hope you all found this helpful. Feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions that my review didn't cover!

Very Happy

I ordered this book with regular delivery and it came very quickly and in great condition. I wouldn't hesitate to order from them again!

Technical

The text is very technical and difficult to follow if you have no background in MMPI. I'm using the text for a graduate course, and even the instructor acknowledged it's difficulty. If you use it as a beginner, try to find other sources to help. Overall, it has a lot of good information.
