MMPI profiles of closed head trauma patients: Impact of neurologic complaints

Abstract: The MMPI is used commonly with neurologic patients despite concerns about its validity with this population. The basis for this concern–possible artifactual effects due to neurologic‐related MMPI items (NRIs)–was assessed in this study of 58 closed head trauma (CHT) patients. The MMPI profiles of these patients were analyzed before and after statistical correction was made for 42 NRIs that were identified by three neurologists. Significant effects occurred on Scales 1 (Hs), 2 (D), 3 (Hy), 7 (Pt), and 8 (Sc) in… Show more

“…W tej sytuacji zastosowanie skali w jej oryginalnej wersji nie było uzasadnione. Wzorując się na pracach wielu autorów dokonują-cych podobnej analizy w odniesieniu do innych schorzeń somatycznych [14][15][16][17][18], zdecydowano się pozostawić w skali tylko te pozycje, które nie są specyfi czne dla cukrzycy.…”

“…The issue of whether neurological consequences of brain injury confound psychopathologic symptoms has received much attention in studies concerning the use of the MMPI [23] and its successor the MMPI-2 [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. While this issue is also controversial with the PAI, little research has examined the validity of the items on this questionnaire when used with individuals with TBI.…”
