“…The MMPI, includes 10 personality and three validity scales. These scales have been found to be beneficial when evaluating the emotional status and personality traits of patients with chronic pain (3)(4)(5). It has been observed that scores of hypochondriasis [Hs], depression [D], and hysteria [Hy] subscales are especially revealing in patients with chronic pain (6)(7)(8).…”

Objective: To evaluate psychological dimensions of pain and to identify any correlation between pain duration and psychological symptomatology in chronic pain patients. Methods: A shortened version of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory was administered to 45 patients with fibromyalgia syndrome [FMS], 40 patients with chronic low back pain [CLBP], 20 patients with rheumatoid arthritis [RA] and the results were compared with data from 30 demographically-matched healthy normal controls [HNC].Results: The patients in all three chronic pain groups derived significantly higher scores on the neurotic scales [hypochondriasis, depression and hysteria] than did subjects in the HNC group [P < 0.05]. The "Conversion V pattern" was observed in the FMS and CLBP groups while the descending pattern was seen in the RA group. The patients who were disabled for four or more years showed more depression in the FMS groups and more hypochondriasis in the CLBP group [P < 0.05].

“…Despite the fact that the NRI correction procedure is originally developed for the assessment of patients with TBI [38], it appears to be a useful tool to disentangle ‘demoralisation’ and cognitive deficits in AUD patients during abstinence. Deleting NRIs from the item pool, however, compromises the integrity of the MMPI‐2 [77,78]. Hence, Arbisi & Ben‐Porath [79] in their review on correction procedures suggest that NRIs must be scored in a different direction in order to obtain an accurate measure of psychopathology (prorated scoring).…”

Introduction and Aims. Treatment planning for alcohol use disorder (AUD) patients is often preceded by the assessment of psychopathology and personality with the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2). However, during periods of abstinence, cognitive impairments (e.g. attention, memory and executive dysfunctions) related to neurological and somatic pathology may affect level and pattern of MMPI-2 scale scores, resulting in clinical misinterpretation. Design and Methods. A re-analysis of the data of the Egger et al. study is conducted in order to examine the clinical significance of the MMPI-2 profiles of 222 AUD patients (mean age 42.2 Ϯ 9.6 years; 76.6% men) by using neurologically relevant item correction procedures. Hierarchical cluster analyses of neurologically relevant item-corrected solutions were compared to the original MMPI-2 profile. Results. Impulsiveness and psychopathic deviation were identified as a common denominator. Discussion and Conclusions. Uncorrected MMPI-2 assessment in AUD tends to overstress psychopathology and to overlook disinhibitory traits in early abstinence, caused by chronic alcoholism. [Walvoort SJW, Wester AJ, Egger JIM.

“…The MMPI/MMPI-2 is also useful in the assessment of pain patients (Cripe, Maxwell, & Hill, 1995;Riley, Robinson, Geisser, Wittmer, & Smith, 1995;Walker & Sofaer, 1998). Differential diagnostic profiles of pain patients (to reveal chronicity) are found with evaluations in scale 1 (hypochondriasis) and scale 3 (hysteria) for more recent pain-onset patients.…”

Unique roles of the professional psychologist are outlined with respect to increasingly restrictive utilization practices of managed care. Suggestions of how to develop less traditional venues of practice, the types of instruments to use, and report formats, along with ways to persuade primary care physicians (PCPs), managed care organizations, and facilities to utilize psychological assessment services are provided. Medical cost offsets, cost-efficient quality of care, and models of practice are also discussed.
