Abstract
This study analyzed endorsement of the Koss-Butcher and the Lachar-Wrobel Critical Item sets from the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory 2 (MMPI-2, Butcher, Dahlstrom, Graham, Tellegen, & Kaemmer, 1989) by individuals and couples in alcoholism recovery. This exploratory investigation was a secondary analysis of data obtained from the Family Recovery Project conducted at the Mental Research Institute, Palo Alto, California. Gender, relationship to alcohol (alcoholic or co-alcoholic), and time in recovery were the independent variables. Fifty-two couples comprised the sample. The results of this study indicate that as recovery progresses, the experience becomes more similar for male and female alcoholics and co-alcoholics.
