Relation of Level of Ego Development to Type and Severity of Psychopathology.

Waugh, Mark H.; McCaulley, Mary H.

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v49 n2 p295-96 Apr 1981

A previous study of psychopathology and ego development was replicated with design improvement. Contrary to the previous study, results suggested that ego development is not meaningfully predictive of type or severity of psychopathology. It is concluded that in terms of molar relations, ego development and psychopathology appear independent. (Author)
