MMPI scales for DSM-III personality disorders: their derivation and correlates.

Scales tapping the dimensions of personality disorder as represented in the DSM-III were derived using a combined rational/empirical strategy. The final version of the scales demonstrated both content validity as well as internal consistency. Correlations between the derived scales and between these scales and the original MMPI clinical scales were generally found to be in the expected direction providing preliminary evidence of criterion related validity. It is suggested that the derived scales may represent an advance toward the reliable assessment of DSM-III personality constructs.

An adjustment for protocol length in Rorschach scoring.

A procedure is proposed by which the comparison of Rorschach protocols is facilitated through separation of the artifact of protocol length. This procedure may help empirical investigation of the Rorschach by standardization with respect to both group norms and profile elevation, similar to the method proposed by Skinner (1978) for use with the MMPI.

A symptom analysis of the DSM-III definition of schizophrenia.

With the recent introduction of DSM-III has come a renewed interest in psychiatric classification. The development of specific criteria for diagnosis was designed to objectify heretofore suspect diagnostic procedures. However, this potential objectivity may be offset by shortcomings in the specific symptoms that define the syndrome. The experiment reported examined the DSM-III definition of schizophrenia by analyzing the characteristics of the individual symptoms. Certain problem areas are noted, and recommendations are made as to how the definition might be strengthened.
