The Use of the MMPI-2 for the Assessment of Depressive and Psychotic Disorders.

Assessment, v5 n3 p249-61 Sep 1998

The usefulness of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) (J. Butcher and others, 1989) for diagnosis and assessment of depression and psychoses was studied with 264 psychiatric inpatients. MMPI-2 profiles were sensitive to group differences, and the derived regression equations were stable and fairly good at classification. (SLD)
