The incremental validity of the MMPI-2: When does therapist access not enhance treatment outcome?

Article Abstract:

Therapist access to the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI-2) was examined predicting favorable treatment outcome, above and beyond other assessment measures. The findings suggested that MMPI-2 did not provide incrementally valid information in clinical settings with an emphasis on diagnosis-based and evidence-based treatment.
