AbstractThe Multidimensional Pain Inventory (MPI) and the MMPI have been used widely to assess chronic pain patients. This study examined the relationship between patient profile classifications generated by the MPI and psychopathology as measured by the MMPI. MPI Dysfunctional and Interpersonally Distressed means were significantly different than the MPI Adaptive Coper means on scales 4, 6, 7, and 8 of the MMPI. The Dysfunctional and Adapative Coper means were also significantly different on MMPI scale 2. MMPI profiles for 79% classified as Dysfunctional and 62% classified as Interpersonally Distressed displayed psychopathology as defined by significant two-point scale elevations. Only 23% of those classified as Adaptive Copers had significant two-point MMPI scale elevations.
