Published in the year 1983, Advances in Personality Assessment is a valuable contribution to the field of Psychiatry/Clinical Psychology.

The primary goal of this series is to disseminate information about major new research or applied developments in the field of personality assessment. Weare striving to present a broad range of topics in personality assessment that reflect the diverse viewpoints and various assessment strategies that make up the field. The series is devoted to several types of contributions: relevant reviews of research areas and theoretical articles; empirical research studies; intensive case studies; and articles describing new, well developed assessment techniques. This volume differs somewhat from the previous three volumes in the series which generally contained chapters with heterogeneous content. Several of the articles in Volume 4 focus on a single theme-international applications of personality assessment. Specifically, it contains several invited articles which detail some of the extensive international work being conducted on the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory.

First published in 1985. This is Volume five of Advances in Personality Assessment. The richness and diversity of the field of personality assessment is reflected in the contents of this volume. In keeping with the general goals of the Series, individual chapters report authoritative reviews and advances in theory and research in a number of areas. These include applications of personality assessment to significant social problems, methodological studies, and reports of recent investigations using traditional objective and projective personality measures and newly developed assessment instruments. The volume begins with a comprehensive review of the assessment of alco holism and drug abuse with the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory.
