Multidimensional Pain Inventory profile classifications and psychopathology
Article Abstract:
A comparative study of the primary classifications of 84 patients by Multidimensional Pain Inventory (MPI) and their psychopathology levels as ascertained by MMPI revealed that subjects diagnosed to be Dysfunctional or Interpersonally Distressed displayed greater psychopathology levels in comparison to the Adaptive Copers categorized by the MMPI scales. Dysfunctional or Interpersonally Distressed subjects were more likely to display immaturity by failing to effectively cope with their emotional states-of-mind.
