Cross-Cultural Application of the MMPI-2 and the Adaptation of the Minnesota Report Computer System in Hong Kong

This casebook provides an overview of two increasingly related aspects of contemporary applied psychology: the exploration of computer-based psychological assessment strategies across cultures and the cross-cultural generalization of psychological constructs and procedures, particularly psychological assessment. In particular, the book is devoted to exploring the cultural generalizability in a Chinese context of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2), and the use of the Minnesota Report for the MMPI-2, the most widely used computer-based MMPI-2 interpretive system. Clinical case examples highlight the cultural convergences and divergences in the use of the Chinese version of the MMPI-2 and the Minnesota Report.
