This webinar on Incorporating the MMPI-3 in Violence Risk Assessments is presented by Martin Sellbom, PhD.

This intermediate level webinar will discuss the role of the recently released 335-item MMPI-3 to psychologists who conduct violence risk assessments. This webinar will assume background and basic interpretation knowledge of both the MMPI-3 and forensic assessment. The majority of the time will be devoted to considerations for using the MMPI-3 in violence and sexual reoffending risk assessments, and scientific support for using the test in such evaluations will be discussed. Given the importance of psychopathy in these assessments, MMPI-3 assessment of such will be discussed as well. Case illustrations for which MMPI-3 data was used in risk assessments will be included.
