Adults (N=153) with mild mental retardation attending a transitional vocational program were evaluated based upon the multiaxial criteria of the American Psychiatric Association's "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual." Fifty-three percent were diagnosed as meeting Axis I criteria, and 17.6 percent met criteria for an Axis II diagnosis, involving more severe personality/developmental disorders. (Author/JDD)
