The Developmental Profile offers a description of the degree to which an adult has developed adaptive behavioral functions appropriate to his or her age and the extent to which his or her functioning is determined by "early," now maladaptive, patterns. After examining the structure, the application, and the psychometric evaluation of the Developmental Profile, the authors describe how this profile can be used to support the process of selecting a psychoanalytic treatment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
