NCS Products Help Clinicians Make Better Decisions and Enhance Patient Care

February 4, 2000, MINNEAPOLIS—This year the NCS 2000 Clinical Assessments Catalog is filled with innovative instruments that support the traditional and growing areas of psychologists' practices. These assessments are designed to enhance patient care in clinical, medical, behavioral healthcare, forensic, correctional and career counseling settings.

Although NCS continues to offer time-tested tools such as the MMPI-2™ test, the Millon™ Clinical Inventories and the Derogatis Symptom Checklist Series, several new tests and reports have recently been developed, and the upgraded MICROTEST Q™ 5.0 Assessment System software is now available.

The easy-to-use catalog is the perfect reference guide for both seasoned professionals and those with less experience. Some contemporary areas of interest include:

• Empirical support for forensic testimony. Some of these instruments include: MMPI-2 Reports for Forensic Settings; VIP^® (Validity Indicator Profile); MCMI-III™; TOMM (Test of Memory Malingering); NIS (Neuropsychological Impairment Scale); and BNCE (Brief Neuropsychological Cognitive Examination).



• Targeted information for corrections. The new MMPI-2™ Criminal Justice and Correctional Report; the MCMI-III™ Corrections Report; and GAMA^® (General Ability Measure for Adults) offer effective solutions to a variety of corrections dilemmas.



• Critical information for high-risk hiring. The MMPI-2™ Revised Personnel System; GAMA; and 16PF^® Fifth Edition help identify job candidates best suited for work in the public safety sector.
