abstract="The purpose of this study was to apply Conley and Prioleau's MMPI classification system to predict drinking and adjustment outcome for a sample of 113 inpatient alcoholics. Although a dual grouping (termed &quot;reactive&quot; and &quot;essential&quot;) of the original six MMPI subtypes was found to be more useful for this sample size, the findings, nevertheless, supported the predictive value of this MMPI classification system. The &quot;essential&quot; group, derived from a triad of Psychopathic and Schizoform MMPI types was rated as drinking significantly more often during 4 years after treatment than the &quot;reactive&quot; group, derived from a triad of Neurotic and Classic MMPI types (Fisher's p =.02). Females classified as the &quot;essential&quot; MMPI group were rated as having significantly poorer adjustment (Fisher's p =.007) than females classified as the &quot;reactive&quot; MMPI group.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
