Review "Masculinity and Femininity in the MMPI-2 and MMPI-A presents a balanced, thoughtful argument in favor of the relevance of individual differences along dimensions of masculinity-femininity in developing broader understanding of the client. Hale and Martin make a strong case for the utility of the MMPI-2 in assessing masculinity-femininity within the context of clinical assessment and provide a means of doing so that avoids past erroneous assumptions about gender and sexual identity and their relationship to masculinity-femininity." —Paul Arbisi, University of Minnesota"Masculinity and femininity are concepts that are difficult to grasp in any context, but especially on the MMPI instruments. Hale Martin and Stephen E. Finn provide clarity and relevance to an aspect of the MMPI that many have found to be confusing or clinically useless. Both scholarly and accessible, this book reviews what psychological science has to say about masculinity and femininity, and then shows how these concepts are reflected on the most widely used psychological test in the world." —Nathan Weed, Central Michigan University Read more About the Author Hale Martin is assistant clinical professor in the graduate school of professional psychology at the University of Denver.Stephen E. Finn is in private practice at the Center for Therapeutic Assessment in Austin, Texas, and is an adjunct clinical assistant professor of psychology at the University of Texas. Read more
V**A
A useful resource for assessment psychologists
This clearly written book is extremely elucidating not only of the measurement of masculinity and femininity but of the concepts themselves, concepts that are age-old but nonetheless filled with ambiguity. The book features their own research on the topic, the findings of which provide a useful pathway forward in understanding this complex realm.
