A COMPARISON OF MMPI AND MMPI-2 IN PTSD ASSESSMENT

A sample of 47 Vietnam veterans with the diagnosis of combat-related P ost-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) was administered the MMPI and MMP I-2. Pairwise comparisons were performed on the clinical scales, Harri s Lingoes subscales, and scales relevant to the assessment of PTSD. Co rrelational analyses were performed as well. Hit rates of high-point p airs were compared across the tests. The results suggest a high degree of congruence between tests. Differences were seen on evaluations of some scales between tests that may influence interpretation and treatm ent.
