MMPI Profiles and Code Types of Responsible and Non-Responsible Criminal Defendants.

Kurlychek, Robert T.; Jordan, L.

Journal of Clinical Psychology, v36 n2 p590-93 Apr 1980

Compared MMPI profiles and two-point code types of criminal defendants (N=50) pleading a defense of "not responsible due to mental disease or defect." A sign test was computed, treating the clinical scales as matched pairs, and a significant difference was found; the nonresponsible group profile was more elevated. (Author)
