摘要
We respond briefly to Williams et al.'s (Psychological Injury and the Law 2:182-197, 2009) most recent effort to critique the MMPI-2 Symptom Validity scale, noting that the authors repeat many of the unfounded claims and conclusions of Butcher et al. (Psychological Injury and the Law 1:191-209, 2008) while ignoring and/or reflecting a misunderstanding of many of the points raised in our rebuttal. Rather than repeat our detailed responses to their initial review, we limit this comment to addressing new points Williams et al. (Psychological Injury and the Law 2:182-197, 2009) bring up and offer a succinct summary of the issues raised in this exchange. © 2009 Springer Science + Business Media, LLC.
