Predicting the Outcome of Methadone Maintenance Treatment With the Negative Treatment Indicators Content Scale From the Mmpi-2
Figure-Drawing Indices of Psychological Accessibility
We investigated the hypotheses that windows, doors, pathways, and size of the house in the House drawing of the House-Tree-Person projective drawing technique reflect psychological and social accessibility by correlating these variables with the Social Introversion scale of the MMPI-2. Subjects were 153 nonclinical, community adults, and 146 clinical patients currently receiving mental health services. While there were strong correlations among t…
Stability of the MCMI—III in a Substance-Abusing Inpatient Sample
The stability of the MCMI-III personality disorder and clinical syndrome scales was assessed in a substance-abusing inpatient sample of 35 African-American men over an average test-retest interval of 6 mo. Estimates were higher for the personality pattern scales than for the clinical syndrome scales. The Dependent personality pattern scale (.83) and the Narcissistic personality pattern scale (.80) were reliable after about six months, whereas Dru…
MCMI-II Profiles and Typologies for Patients Seen in Marital Therapy
The Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-II profiles of 145 patients in marital therapy, seen in a private-practice outpatient setting, were subjected to a hierarchical cluster analysis. Four distinct clusters were found (MCMI-II Codetypes 58B4, 8A6B8B5, 3217, and 37). Each of these clusters suggested different therapeutic goals. There were some scale differences by gender, with women tending to score higher on the Dependent Scale. We argue that …
Psychological Screening of Impotence with Finney's MMPI-Derived Impotence Scale
Three groups of patients in treatment were assessed for impotence, using MMPI-derived Impotence Scale. Group I were 46 patients who had been screened and scheduled for a penile prosthesis when the impotence resulted from known organic causes (biogenic). Group II were 198 patients in a sexual dysfunction clinic, for whom biogenic causes had been ruled out (psychogenic). Group III were 51 substance abusers in drug rehabilitation. While scores on th…
PF Profiles and Typologies for Patients Seen in Marital Therapy
The purpose of this study was to examine and describe the personality characteristics of 145 patients seen in outpatient marital therapy in private practice. Cluster analysis of the entire sample resulted in five separate typologies which were statistically significant and clinically meaningful and which suggested different goals for counseling. Patients seeking marital therapy were significantly more tense, anxious, worrisome, suspicious, bold, …
Relationship between MCMI-II Scales and Normal Personality Traits
We correlated MCMI-II and 16 PF profiles of 145 couples in outpatient marital therapy and noted significant associations between these tests that were consistently and logically related to constructs which underlie the meaning of the MCMI-II scales. This provided good concurrent validity for both the Personality and Clinical Scales of the MCMI-II. These results add credence to research designed to study Millon's basic styles in normal populations
Personality Factors in PSY.D. Students
A total of 180 students in a Doctor of Psychology program of an APA-accredited Professional School of Psychology (55 men and 125 women) took the MMPI for course requirements. A larger subgroup (43 men and 88 women) also completed the Adjective Check List. Men scored higher than women on the MMPI dimensions of Assertion (Pd), Organization (Pt), and Imagination (Sc). Women scored higher on the Ego Strength Scale (Es). Men scored higher on the Check…
Changes in Functional Ego States following Treatment for Drug Abuse
The Adjective Checklist (ACL), scored for functional ego states, was administered to 68 heroin addicts before and after inpatient, short-term, hospital-based treatment for drug abuse. The initial configuration and patterning of needs corresponded to the Adapted Child ego state, characterized by high needs for succorance, abasement, heterosexuality, nurturance, exhibition, and change. Following an average of 18 days of treatment, the subjects incr…
