Readers will find this book to be as useful and applicable as the MMPI-2 itself  which is used in psychiatric hospitals; correctional settings; in evaluations for job selection  general medicine  forensic and child custody cases; and even in screenings for television  game  and reality shows. The authors expand upon this already robust test by demonstrating how therapeutic assessment and feedback can be improved upon by considering three contributions from positive psychology: that behavior can be viewed as potentially adaptive; traditional pathological and maladaptive behaviors can be reframed as understandable responses to stressors that therapeutic feedback is empathic  nonjudgmental  and mostly jargon free; humans respond to overwhelming stress in understandable ways that the therapist can give coherence and meaning to lastly  that therapeutic feedback stresses self-esteem and resilience building through self-awareness as a goal. Discussion centers around ten scales and 27 common code types. Each section addresses the complaints  thoughts  emotions  traits and behaviors associated with the profile; therapists notes; lifestyle and family background; modifying scales; therapy and therapeutic pitfalls; feedback statements; and treatment and self-help suggestions. The larger page size reflects the size of the MMPI-2 interpretive reports and makes it easy for clinicians to copy pages of the book to share with their clients. Therapeutic Feedback with the MMPI-2 is the most detailed volume available on MMPI-2 feedback and is a valuable addition to the bookshelf of any clinician who uses this test.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44960907427893,"sku":"ByrdShop_0415884918","price":51.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780415884914.jpg?v=1770392993","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/therapeutic-feedback-with-the-mmpi2","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
