Dimensions, Patterns, and Personality Correlates of Drug Abuse in an Offender Population.

Holland, Terrill R.

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v46 n3 p577-78 Jun 1978

Drug abuse scores from prisoners resulted in two factors describing lifetime use of cannabis versus opiates. Analysis of Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) profiles versus drug abuse patterns indicated moderate, unidimensional relationship between variables. MMPI profiles of opiate users were similar to those identified in research with narcotic addicts. (Author/BEF)
