MMPI profiles of emotionally impaired physicians.

ABSTRACT

Compared MMPI profiles of 36 male physicians hospitalized in a psychiatric institution to MMPI profiles of physicians hospitalized in a drug treatment center and to profiles of health physicians. The sample of 36 physicians manifested more emotional distress than M.D.s in these two comparison groups. Within our sample, physicians nt addicted to drugs or alcohol had significantly higher Male-Female scores than those M.D.s addicted to drugs.
