“…Elevations above a T score of 70 are used to derive profile types. The DIPS has demonstrated high test/retest reliability (Vincent, 1987) and both content and criterion-referenced validity (Vincent, 1987;Vincent & Duthie, 1986).…”

Objective: This study was an exploratory analysis of the variables which differentiated incest survivors who self-mutilate from those who do not. Method: A sample of women incest survivors (N ϭ 84) were divided into two groups based on the presence or absence of self-mutilation. Participants included both community and clinical populations. A packet consisting of a demographic questionnaire, Sexual Attitudes Survey, Diagnostic Inventory of Personality and Symptoms, Dissociative Events Scale and the Beck Depression Inventory was completed by each participant. Results: Demographic, incest, and family of origin variables distinguished the self-mutilating women from those who did not. These include ethnicity and educational experiences; duration, frequency, and perpetrator characteristics regarding the incest; and multiple abuses, instability, birth order, and loss of mother in one's family of origin. Psychological and physical health concerns also differentiated between the two groups. Conclusions: Many variables may differentiate between women incest survivors who self-mutilate from those who do not. A rudimentary checklist to describe the lives of incest survivors who self-mutilate resulted from these findings. The importance of the concept of embodiment is also discussed.

“…The four factors of the Personality Inventory for Children include a factor for cognitive development and three personality factors that fit nicely into the above schema; factor one is undisciplined/poor self control which corresponds to the immature character, factor two is social incompetence which corresponds to the withdrawn character, and factor three is internalization/somatic systems which corresponds to the neurotic character (Lachar, 1974). The Diagnostic Inventory of Personality and Symptoms also yields three well defined factors corresponding to the broad band clusters of withdrawn, immature, and neurotic personality disorders (Vincent & Duthie, 1986). The Millon Multiaxial Clinical Inventory has sometimes yielded a three factor solution, (Choca, Peterson, & Shandley, 1986).…”

In this paper an attempt is made to define the interrelationship of personality disorders. Relationships both between and among the 3 major groupings of DSM-III are discussed. It is proposed that 3 personality disorders, namely passive aggressive, avoidant, and borderline are impure and serve as bridges between the 3 major DSM-111 groupings. Placement within the 3 groupings is discussed with antisocial, compulsive, and schizoid as being the essence of the 3 categories. Anecdotal evidence from previous psychometric research is provided.

“…Goldberg (1972) used a variety of statistical methods to arrive at his three broadband classifications for the MMPI. A similar structure has been found for other clinical instruments, including the Diagnostic Inventory of Personality and Symptoms (Vincent & Duthie, 1986). Also, the Personality Inventory for Children, which has a cognitive factor, yields three similar personality factors (Lachar, 1984).…”

The factor structure of the Adolescent Multiphasic Personality Inventory (AMPI) in a mental health center psychiatric patient population was examined (N = 70). Principal components factor analysis with Varimax rotation yielded four well defined factors, which accounted for 78% of the total variance. These factors can be conceptualized as neurotic, psychotic, characterological, and validity‐defensiveness. Results support the construct validity of the AMPI and are discussed in relation to previous psychometric studies of psychopathology that used other objective personality inventories.
