Course Description

The MMPI-2-RF is frequently used in pre-employment psychological evaluations of law enforcement candidates, periodic evaluations of incumbent officers, evaluations of candidates for promotion, and fitness-for-duty evaluations. This intermediate-level workshop begins with an overview of the MMPI-2-RF, followed by a review of the literature available to guide its use in police and public safety assessments. Case studies will illustrate use of the MMPI-2-RF in these settings.
