Researching efficiency of group-analytic treatment and following Foulkes' principle of the "group-as-a-whole", the methodology was applied. That enabled the evaluation of expected changes of group members individually, as well as the group-as-a-whole. In this study three small groups (20 patients) were followed up and changes were evaluated after second and after fourths years of group analysis...

MMPI profiles of 10 psychiatric PG's have been compared with 10 medical PG's. The findings are discussed statistically and otherwise. Both the groups fall within the range of normal. Some interesting findings are not unexpected, if a larger section of population could be studied preferably over a span of few years.

The relationship between scores on the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory and both concurrent and prior aggression was examined for a sample of 426 19-year-olds from the general population. Aggression was measured through peer nominations obtained concurrently and 10 years earlier. Correlation and regression analysis indicated that the sum of T scores for Scales F, 4, and 9 was a valid...

MMPI profiles of 22 chronic arthritic patients were compared to 22 control pain (nonorganic) patients. While elevations were noted in the HS, D, and Hy scales for the rheumatoid patients, the over-all profiles differed from controls on the PA scale.

To investigate the comparative advantages of data from group as compared to individual profiles, 233 group MMPI profiles were used to construct both sequential and simultaneous classification procedures for psychiatric diagnosis. Virtually perfect separation of the group profiles was accomplished by both procedures, the results ranging from 93% correct (psychotic versus neurotic) to 99% correct...
