Book Reviews of MMPI-2: An Interpretive Manual (2nd Edition)

Book Review: A five-star text, but Graham's text is better for interpreting MMPI-2 profiles
Summary: 5 Stars

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!
