THE MMPI/MMPI-2 PERSONALITY INVENTORIES AND RETROSPECTIVE CLINICAL DIAGNOSIS
The results of an MMPI / MMPI-2 could only describe the clinical condition at the time of assessment. It is not permissible straightaway to extrapolate a retrospective interpretation from the outset. However, psychological assessments resort to the use of MMPI / MMPI-2 results to make a definitive statement on the prior personality of the client examined. This article intends to take stock of such abusive practices that are done to the detriment of a client by invoking without a solid basis an emotional origin rather than a somato-organic origin.
