The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI-2) often supports clinical decision-making in complex diagnostic problems like differentiating neurosis from psychosis and psychosis from bipolar disorder. The MMPI Goldberg index, an arithmetical combination of five clinical scales, has been considered to provide a good estimate for discriminating between neurotic and psychotic profiles. Similarly, the MMPI-2 Personality Psychopathology Five (PSY-5) scales have been found to be useful in differentiating diagnostic categories.
This study evaluates these findings in a sample of psychiatric patients diagnosed with depressive, psychotic, or bipolar disorder using ANOVA and discriminant analysis.
Results corroborate the validity of Goldberg's index and find MMPI-2 PSY-5 scale Disconstraint to significantly differentiate between psychotic and bipolar-I disorder.
The MMPI-2 Goldberg index and PSY-5 scales can offer a useful contribution to the differential diagnosis of depressive, psychotic and bipolar disorder.
明尼苏达多相人格问卷(MMPI - 2)常用于支持复杂诊断问题中的临床决策,比如区分神经症与精神病以及精神病与双相情感障碍。MMPI戈德堡指数是五个临床量表的算术组合,被认为能很好地估计神经症和精神病性剖面图之间的差异。同样,MMPI - 2人格心理病理学五因素(PSY - 5)量表在区分诊断类别方面也很有用。
本研究使用方差分析和判别分析,在诊断为抑郁、精神病或双相情感障碍的精神科患者样本中评估这些发现。
结果证实了戈德堡指数的有效性,并发现MMPI - 2 PSY - 5量表的放纵因子能显著区分精神病性障碍和双相I型障碍。
MMPI - 2戈德堡指数和PSY - 5量表可为抑郁、精神病性和双相情感障碍的鉴别诊断提供有益帮助。
