Offense type and two-point MMPI code profiles: discriminating between violent and nonviolent offenders.

Offense data and MMPI profiles were examined for 67 men who had been remanded by the courts to a psychiatric hospital forensic unit for pretrial assessment. They were classified as violent or nonviolent offenders based upon the nature of their offenses. Violent offenders were those charged with assault, robbery, sexual assault, and all degrees of homicide. Nonviolent offenders were those charged with break, enter and commit, uttering threats, and fraud. The controversial issue of two-point MMPI code types (4-3, 4-8/8-4) was addressed. Neither of these commonly employed two-point types successfully discriminated between violent and nonviolent offenders.

Effects of therapist title on competence as perceived by a psychiatric sample.

A study was conducted on how perceptions of a therapist's competence are affected by the therapist's title. Psychiatric inpatients (58 males and 24 females) viewed one of four copies of a videotaped session of the interaction between a male therapist and a male client. One tape described the therapist as "Doctor," one tape described him as "Mister," one by his first name, and one with no name or title. The therapist was rated by the patients on 11 qualities related to competence. Of 11 analyses, 1 title effect was found, and females rated the therapist higher on two qualities. Overall, 9 of the qualities showed no effect for title or for ratings by gender.
