Therapeutic effects of providing MMPI-2 test feedback to college students awaiting therapy.

Abstract

This study investigated the benefits of sharing Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) test results verbally with clients. Ss were randomly selected from a college counseling center's waiting list: 32 received test feedback according to a collaborative model developed by Finn (1990) and 29 received only examiner attention. Groups did not differ on age, sex, days between examiner contact, and initial levels of distress and self-esteem
