title: MMPI code types and DSM-III diagnoses.
abstract: Examined the relationship of the MMPI high-point codes and the diagnostic system of the Diagnostic Statistical Manual III of the American Psychiatric Association. Five psychiatrists reanalyzed the patients' records and rendered a DSM-III diagnosis. In all, 24 code types were identified from the private psychiatric clinic sample (N = 261). The resulting clusters of diagnostic classification are presented, and, additionally, a narrative summation for each code type is given.
