This on-demand professional training program on Forensic Case Illustrations with the MMPI-3 is presented by Martin Sellbom, PhD.
This intermediate to advanced program builds on the program. This program focuses on a variety of in-depth case illustrations derived from a range of criminal, civil, and family court evaluations.
Participants receive exposure to how MMPI-3 information was integrated with other sources of information to address psycho-legal questions and offer associated forensic opinions. Participants leave the program with greater familiarity and enhanced MMPI-3 interpretation skills, particularly as it relates to forensic psychological assessments.
The participants receive advanced instruction in interpreting the MMPI-3 in forensic psychological evaluations and, thus, improve upon their professional skills in using this instrument in practice. The MMPI instruments are among the most frequently used in forensic psychological evaluations, with the MMPI-3 being the most recent installment.
