MMPI profile of DSM-III borderline personality disorder. 1982

S Snyder, and W M Pitts, and W A Goodpaster, and C Sajadi, and Q Gustin

The authors compared the MMPI profile of 26 patients with DSM-III borderline personality disorder with than of 19 patients with dysthymic disorder. The clinical scales on which the borderline patients scored highest were psychasthenia and schizophrenia, but discriminant function analyses indicated that the L and F validity scales provided the model that best discriminated between the borderline and dysthymic groups.
