MMPI-2 Negative Treatment Indicators Content and Content Component scales: clinical correlates and outcome prediction for men with chronic pain
Article Abstract:
A clinical sample of men with chronic pain is used to evaluate the utility of the Negative Treatment Indicators (TRT) Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 Content and Content Component scales(TRT1 and TRT2). TRT correlates for patients with chronic pain are not different from those for a normative sample of men. Emotional distress is reflected in the TRT, TRT1 and TRT2 scores. TRT1 and TRT2 can predict treatment related change and posttreatment functioning. However, high TRT and TRT1 scores may reflect either negative or positive treatment response.

The Bulimia Test - Revised: validation with DSM-IV criteria for bulimia nervosa
Article Abstract:
The Bulimia Test - Revised (BULIT-R) is a valid instrument for identifying individuals who meet the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-IV (DSM-IV) criteria for bulimia nervosa. BULIT-R differentiates those who meet the DSM-IV criteria for bulimia nervosa and eating disorders not otherwise specified from controls. False positive diagnosis can occur in the case of subthreshold bulimics. The test is most useful as a screening measure followed by a diagnostic interview.

Assessing children's states of mind: a multitrait, multimethod study
Article Abstract:
A study of the effects of age, measurement method, and self- vs other-reference on States of Mind (SOM) ratios in children, teenagers, and adults shows that the ratios vary according to measurement methods and self- vs other-reference conditions. However, age has little influence on SOM ratios. Results suggest that the set point specified by the SOM model is applicable to children. The study assesses seven-to-10-year-old children, 11-to-14-year olds, and undergraduates.
