Personality Assessment in Managed Health Care

James Butcher has assembled a highly respected group of contributors from academia, managed care, and full-time clinical practice to discuss the importance of psychological assessment, particularly through the use of MMPI-2. They argue that this assessment plays an indispensable role in managed care, both as an essential tool for evaluating the effectiveness of therapy and as a factor in the structuring and shortening of therapy.

By providing working examples of psychological treatment in the context of managed care, this book shows that the most effective treatments use personality assessment as their foundation.
