title: DSM-III diagnosis and code types of the Diagnostic Inventory of Personality and Symptoms.
abstract: The relationships of high-point code types of the Diagnostic Inventory of Personality and Symptoms (DIPS) to the Diagnostic and Statistic Manual III of the American Psychiatric Association (DSM-III) were explored for patients (N = 316) in private mental health settings. Sixteen DIPS code types that relate code types to Axis I diagnoses are presented. The three DIPS personality disorder cluster scales and the eight combinations thereof are presented as well. Five of the personality disorder cluster scale code types that relate to DSM-III Axis II categories are identified. Finally, a narrative summation of each of the code types is given.
