Abstract:
The over-all satisfaction with treatment for addiction (sum of scores on 11 items of a questionnaire) by 50 addicts and their self-reported confidence in remaining abstinent were unrelated to scores on MMPI-2 scales (all classical clinical and validity scales, 15 content scales and 7 research scales) except to reports of shyness on the Social Discomfort Scale: patients characterizing themselves as shy gave the higher ratings of satisfaction with treatment (r = .33). We note that our previous finding using the MMPI-2, i.e., that less.socially responsible and more rebellious patients provided lower satisfaction ratings, was not replicated for this sample of addicts.
