The purpose of this study was to examine and describe the personality characteristics of 145 patients seen in outpatient marital therapy in private practice. Cluster analysis of the entire sample resulted in five separate typologies which were statistically significant and clinically meaningful and which suggested different goals for counseling. Patients seeking marital therapy were significantly more tense, anxious, worrisome, suspicious, bold, and shrewd than the normal persons in the 16 PF standardization sample.
本研究旨在考察和描述在私人诊所接受门诊婚姻治疗的145名患者的人格特征。对整个样本进行聚类分析，得出了五种不同的类型，这些类型在统计学上具有显著意义且在临床上具有重要意义，并为咨询提出了不同的目标。寻求婚姻治疗的患者比16种人格因素标准化样本中的正常人明显更紧张、焦虑、担忧、多疑、大胆和精明。
