Description:
This paper describes borderline personality disorder (BPD) as a serious mental illness that impacts a person's interpersonal relationships, self-image and behavior. Next, the author relates the history of the development of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2), its scales and their interpretations and its clinical applications. The paper concludes that the literature review, which is presented as article summaries, indicates that the MMPI-2 is being used to diagnose BPD for which this instrument was not designed; therefore, its validity and reliability for the assessment of this condition cannot be known. A table is included in the paper.

From the Paper:
"This study reviewed the results of similar studies and found that battered women do not demonstrate elevated scores on the MMPI-2 for disorders that could "provoke" battering. It has been suggested that battered women sometimes bring it on themselves by acting in away that provokes the behavior in the batterer. The purpose the study was to determine if battered women's elevated MMPI-2 scores were a result of the battering or if they indicated that they provoked the battering. One way to test this was to see if the MMPI-2 scores of battered women decreased after the battering had stopped. In the literature review of the study one study was found that used a longitudinal technique to examine this factor."Sample of Sources Used:
