Knowledge of the personality trait and psychopathology variables that differentiate neuropsychologically impaired and nonimpaired psychiatric patients has been limited relative to the study of higher cortical functions. This study reports findings from the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory (MCMI) developed by Millon (1982) in a sample of hospitalized schizophrenics and depressives who also received the Luria-Nebraska Neuropsychological Battery. The principal findings indicate that neuropsychological dysfunction may be related to substance abuse, including its underlying personality dimensions, in schizophrenia, but only modest support is indicated for the construct of negative symptoms in schizophrenics with neuropsychological dysfunction. Further, the findings do not support the view that psychosis is a characteristic feature of depressives with impaired neuropsychological performance.
与对高级皮质功能的研究相比,区分神经心理受损和未受损精神科患者的人格特质和精神病理学变量的相关知识一直有限。本研究报告了米隆(1982年)编制的米隆临床多轴问卷(MCMI)在一组住院精神分裂症患者和抑郁症患者样本中的研究结果,这些患者同时接受了鲁利亚-内布拉斯加神经心理成套测验。主要研究结果表明,在精神分裂症中,神经心理功能障碍可能与药物滥用有关,包括其潜在的人格维度,但对于存在神经心理功能障碍的精神分裂症患者的阴性症状结构,仅获得了适度支持。此外,研究结果并不支持这样的观点,即神经心理表现受损的抑郁症患者的特征是存在精神病性症状。
