[Contribution to differential-diagnostic validity of MMPI to prognosis of efficiency of autogeneous training (author's transl)].

Due to the fact, that a group of patients were not able to achieve success in the autogeneous training in spite of usual selection after diagnostic criteria, we submitted them as well as a control group to the MMPI. We found significant differences in the Hd-, D-, Hy-, and Si-scales. Then we calculated the discriminance function and the cut-off score and found after MMPI-profile an 80% probability of predicting if a patient will succeed in autogeneous training or not.
