Three Psychologists, One Profile: An Exercise in Building MMPI-2 Interpretations
This DVD presents an educational workshop in which three nationally known experts build MMPI-2 interpretations from the ground up, having no information about the case beyond the test scores and basic demographics. Drs. Roger L. Greene, David S. Nichols, and Alex B. Caldwell each provide an independent 40 minute showcase of how they think their way through a blind interpretation of a forensic MMPI-2 profile. Following the experts’ interpretations, the treating psychologist, Dr. David Glassmire, presents details of the actual clinical case, thus providing an immediate point of resolution of the experts’ predictions. Produced by Drs. David Brokaw and Holli Eaton, Azusa Pacific University.
This two DVD set contains a three-hour version providing the full content of the workshop, including a final question-and-answer period. In addition it contains a one-hour condensed version of the workshop, suitable for graduate academic instruction if more time is not available. The reports used by the three experts in their interpretations are also included on the DVD: the MMPI-2 Extended Score Report, the MMPI-2 Adult Interpretive System Version 3, Caldwell Report’s MMPI-2 Narrative Report, and David Nichols Revised Structural Summary of the MMPI-2. They can be downloaded for personal study or for classroom handouts.

Station 60: Hathaway’s Treatment for a Young Woman with Hysterical Deafness:
This CD is based on recordings from 1957 of a University of Minnesota Centennial radio program. Dr. Starke R. Hathaway had previously designed a unique and highly creative resolution to the deafness that leaves the young woman with her self-esteem intact with a defense against innuendoes or accusations of faking deafness. (The actor who played Hathaway’s role spent considerable time studying Hathaway, and his portrayal is remarkably true to the man). This same dramatic and inspirational story, re-written for Studio One TV by original author Mayo Simon, won a national drama critics award for television drama of the year. Brief comments on the context by Dr. Caldwell, at that time an Instructor on "Station 60" which designated the Psychiatry Department.
