TY - JOUR PY - 2001// TI - MMPI-2 profiles of filicidal, mariticidal, and homicidal women JO - Journal of clinical psychology (Hoboken) A1 - McKee, G. R. A1 - Shea, S. J. A1 - Mogy, R. B. A1 - Holden, C. E. SP - 367 EP - 374 VL - 57 IS - 3 N2 - The present study compared the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) clinical and content scale profiles of a group of adult women (N = 73) charged with either murder of their child (filicide) (n = 30), their partner (mariticide) (n = 19), or an unrelated adult (homicide) (n = 24). No significant differences were seen among the three groups on either the MMPI-2 clinical or content scales. Clinical inspection of the 53 valid MMPI-2 profiles (F < 110T) revealed a 6-8 mean profile for the filicidal women, a 2-6 mean profile for the mariticidal women, and a 4-8 mean profile for the homicidal women. Application of the data for criminal forensic psychological evaluations is discussed.
