AbstractUtilizing the Rorschach and the Wechsler, groups of borderline adolescents (n= 26) and adolescents with other personality disorders (n= 26) were compared to determine whether there were differences in magnitude and type of disturbances in ego functioning. The specific aspects of ego functioning that were studied included disturbances in identity integration, reliance on primitive defensive operations, vulnerability to regressive thinking, and lapses in reality appreciation. Results indicated that during adolescence the borderline personality represents a more severe form of character pathology than other personality disorders, as revealed by more disturbances in identity integration, a greater regression to primary‐process thinking in unstructured settings, and more frequent lapses in reality testing. This contrast was most striking in the area of identity integration, where identity disturbances tended to be associated with lapses in reality testing in borderline adolescents, while there was essentially no relationship between these two indicators of ego pathology in non‐borderline adolescents. This supports the notion that disturbances in identity integration, or the sense of self, form an important part of the borderline diagnosis, even during adolesce

摘要:

AbstractSex offenders are known to be heterogeneous in their patterns of personality functioning and behavior. The present study conducted a multivariate cluster analysis on the MMPIs of 120 incarcerated adult male rapists. The analysis resulted in the identification of five MMPI profile subgroups. Additional differences among subgroups were identified in the circumstances of the crime and responses to the Multiphasic Sex Inventory. Levels of psychopathology, as indicated by the MMPI, ranged from slight to extreme. Results are discussed with reference to previous MMPI research with sex offenders. Suggestions for future research are offered.

摘要:

AbstractThis study presents normative data on the Kagan Matching Familiar Figures test, a measure of impulsivity/reflection, for 200 adult male incarcerates (108 Black, 92 White) in a state correctional system. Also presented aret‐tests between groups and correlations between the MFF and a series of demographic and test measures. Low, significant correlations were found between the MFF scores (time, number correct) and race, IQ, education, and reading levels. A comparison with college male and female norms is provided. The value and use of the MFF as a measure of cognitive style are discusse

摘要:

AbstractThis study was designed to identify clinically meaningful differences between Continuous and Episodic Drinkers who were entering inpatient treatment on the basis of demographic, social functioning, and drinking information, as well as scores based on an intake administration of the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory. A discriminant analysis correctly classified 79% of patients into Continuous and Episodic Drinking groups. Variables that had both interpretable loadings on the discriminant function and scores that were associated positively with membership in the Continuous Drinking group include the Psychotic Thinking, Passive‐Aggressive, Avoidant, and Psychotic Depression scales of the MCMI and a questionnaire item, “Drinking helps me to work better.” In contrast, scores on the Conforming‐Compulsive scale of the MCMI were associated positively with membership in the Episodic Drinkin

摘要:

AbstractPath analysis procedures were used to test a causal model that concerns possible antecedent conditions in relation to gregarious drinking patterns. Selected scales from The California Psychological Inventory (CPI) and The Alcohol Use Inventory (AUI) constituted the assessments. The model was partially corroborated with reference to a group of 40 alcoholics (32 males; 8 females;Mage = 33) in an outpatient treatment setting. The presumed causal variables accounted for 26% of the variance in self‐reported gregarious drinking. Support was obtained for the assumption that certain interpersonal deficiencies may combine with beliefs in social benefits via alcohol usage to produce gregarious alcoholis

摘要:

AbstractPerceptions and attitudes of academic and applied clinical psychologists with regard to social psychology and several aspects of clinical psychology were compared, as were possible changes in perceptions over a 15‐year period. Theory, research, and practice generally were seen as more relevant in 1984 than in 1969, particularly among the applied respondents. However, many of the academic and applied respondents continue to believe that the work in these areas is not highly socially relevan

摘要:

AbstractBecause of the recent increase in the reporting of child sexual abuse, validation of sexual abuse allegations has become a major focus of interest. Validation investigations typically have been carried out by a number of professionals involved in social service and law enforcement agencies. Lack of coordination and collaboration among professionals has led to confusion as to the credibility of reports of child sexual abuse. This paper discusses the role of the psychologist in determining the validity of sexual abuse allegations and makes suggestions as to how existing validation procedures can be improved.
