ABSTRACT
This chapter explains assessment Feedback to integrate MMPI–2 and Rorschach Findings. The guidelines have proven to work well with many clients and were developed with the goal of providing therapeutic feedback to clients about their MMPI-2 and Rorschach results. Based on clinical work, the author has come to believe that both the MMPI-2 and Rorschach provide reliable, valid, and clinically useful information. Exhibit 7-1 shows a schema for broadly classifying combinations of Rorschach and MMPI-2 results into five patterns, according to (a) the level of disturbance revealed on the MMPI-2, (b) the level of disturbance revealed on the Rorschach, and (c) the level of engagement of the client in the Rorschach. When the MMPI-2 depicts more distress and/or disturbance than the Rorschach (Cell C), the author talks with clients about how they clearly want help or acknowledgment and have used the MMPI-2 to communicate this message.
