title: A comparison between MMPI and CPI adult profiles of children of alcoholics and nonalcoholics.
abstract: Findings of a comparison of CPI and MMPI subscale score means between 31 children of alcoholics/problem drinkers (COAs) and 120 non-COAs in a longitudinal panel only minimally support the oft-quoted clinical literature's assertions concerning differences in adult outcome between COAs and non-COAs. However, findings appear to be congruent with the findings of other panel studies in the United States and Sweden. Implications for further research are noted.
