Reliability of the Revised Psychopathy Checklist in Substance Abuse Patients.

Alterman, Arthur I.; And Others

Psychological Assessment, v5 n4 p442-48 Dec 1993

One month test-retest reliability of the Revised Psychopathy Checklist (PCL-R) was examined in 88 methadone-maintained males, along with effects of increased information about patients on PCL-R scores and diagnostic derivations. Test-retest reliabilities are quite good. Other findings also confirm potential utility of the PCL-R for research. (SLD)
