A Competency based model
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
As the title suggests, Finn's model breaks the cycle of pathology inherent in the MMPI and allows the dissemination of information to be potentially less hurtful to clients. His model is feminist based, which means that there is always collaboration between client and therapist, which can only heighten the assessment experience. I love his model because it allows for the client to easily integrate what their results are into their own definition of their personality/identity. A must have for any clinician serious about doing objective assessment.
