The section that presents the cognitive complaints scale (COG) contains items which refer to a broad range of cognitive/intellectual complaints and developmental/intellectual limitations. An increased discussion of validity scale interpretations is useful for those who administer testing where clients may be inclined to under- or over-report their complaints. Their chapter on interpretation and report writing is very useful for new MMPI-2 users learning how to compose personality assessment reports. In-depth interpretations of the supplementary and content scales as well as the critical items are provided by the authors. This updated text includes more than 250 additional references. This revised book contains a section which provides codetype descriptors for the MMPI-2 and is expanded to include narratives to include useful feedback for patients/clients, which cover most of the 104 codetypes. The RF was intended as an alternative addition to, rather than a replacement, for the MMPI-2. The University of Minnesota Press released the RF in 2008. This edition is supplemented with two additional chapters including the development and interpretation of the Restructured Clinical (RC) scales and the Restructured Form (RF) of the MMPI-2. The MMPI-2 is an assessment instrument, which is useful adjunct to assessing intellectual and cognitive functioning. Friedman and his colleagues in this third edition of their textbook provide their readership with a broadened discussion built upon the second edition of their book.
