A comparison of MMPI two-point codes in four alcoholism treatment facilities

Compared the frequency of two-point MMPI codes in four different alcoholism treatment facilities. Even though some differences were noted in terms of the different code types, the comparisons were more indicative of the similarity between treatment facilities. The 2-4/4-2 code type occurred most frequently in all of the treatment settings, yet it accounted for only 12--21% of the profiles in any facility. The implication of these findings for describing the "alcoholic" personality and for individualized treatment planning was discussed.
