Cross-Ex Psych. on MMPI
Does anyone have any ideas, outlines, transcripts or other helpful information on cross-examining a psychiatric expert on the MMPI?
Please respond via this thread. Thanks.

I have an outline I've used for years as to how to approach such witnesses for cross. Many, many years ago I got articles addressing the shortcomings of such tests, MMPI and Rorschach ... The articles are dated but a State's expert could update the line of research if you wanted to play that game. One example was published in the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 1971, Vol. 36, No. 1, 100-103 which contains other references. Perhaps the MMPI has been cleaned up in the decades following - email me if you need more cites or ideas from the cross outline I use.
