Abstract
Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 protocols were examined in an attempt to develop a model able to identify chemically-dependent patients likely not to complete treatment. MMPI-2 profiles of 173 patients (142 male) were analyzed using profile code types and a multiple analysis of variance. A chi-square showed that patients classified as neurotic were more likely to fail treatment. A MANOVA indicated that elevated F-scores on Scales 7 and 8 (p <. 05) were related to noncompletion. Comparing these results with similar studies indicates that attempting to construct a predictive model based on a single objective measure may not be sufficient to determine outcome.
