Abstract:
On the basis of personality assessment (MMPI, MPI) patients with endogenous depression were shown to react differently to treatment. Women who obtained low scores on the Lie (L), Depression (D) and Repression (R) scales as well as high scores on the Psychopathic deviate (Pd) and Alcoholism (Mac) scales had better therapy outcomes. On the other hand from among men with endogenous depression those reacting better to treatment were those who obtained low scores on the Depression (D) and high scores on the Mania (Ma) scales.
