I offer the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-3, also called the MMPI-3. I offer this service as part of pre-surgical screenings (such as those for bariatric/ weight-loss surgery and spinal cord stimulator implant surgery). (It is sometimes used in other settings, like legal settings. This is not my area of expertise.) It helps to provide diagnostic clarity and information for treatment planning.
This assessment requires a clinical interview session, a session for the assessment itself, and a report review session. I give the MMPI-3 with other applicable assessments, based on a client's specific needs and goals. Next, I write a report summarizing the results and synthesizing them with data from the clinical interview. The client and I meet and go over the report to ensure the client understands the content of the report and how to apply any recommendations from it. This report review session is an essential part of the assessment process. The client receives a copy of their report. When appropriate, I send a copy to the appropriate professional, such as a doctor.
