Psychometric evaluation of post-traumatic stress disorder: the Multidimensional Personality Questionnaire as an adjunct to the MMPI.
Two groups of Vietnam veterans--Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD, n = 17) and non-PTSD (n = 80)--were developed from a sample of treatment-seeking alcohol abusers. The subjects completed a Combat Experiences Questionnaire, a PTSD Symptom Scale, the MMPI, and the Multidimensional Personality Questionnaire (MPQ). The MPQ proved to be a useful adjunct to the MMPI in describing the major manifestations of PTSD among alcohol-abusing veterans.
