The personal characteristics of 80 clients with elevated 2-4 (D-PD) scales on their MMPIs were compared with those of 109 clients without these elevations. Clients with the 2-4 elevated were significantly more depressed, had lower self-esteem, and were more likely to come from disturbed families. They also had poor relationships with the opposite sex, became more dependent on the therapist, and often made little improvement in therapy. In comparison to previous descriptions of hospitalized patients with similar profiles, the counseling center clients continue to function in the community and show less pathological behavior. Implications for therapy are discussed.
对80名在明尼苏达多项人格测验（MMPI）中2-4（D-PD）量表得分升高的来访者的个人特征，与109名该量表得分未升高的来访者进行了比较。2-4量表得分升高的来访者明显更抑郁，自尊水平更低，且更有可能来自问题家庭。他们与异性的关系也很差，对治疗师的依赖更强，并且在治疗中往往进步甚微。与之前对具有类似特征的住院患者的描述相比，咨询中心的来访者能够继续在社区中生活，且表现出较少的病态行为。文中还讨论了对治疗的启示。
