The role of the MMPI-2-Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF) in predicting and better understanding engagement in posttraumatic stress disorder treatment.

The ability of Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2-Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF; Ben-Porath & Tellegen, 2008/2011) scores to predict treatment engagement in veterans referred for empirically supported treatments for symptoms of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) was examined. Early withdrawal from treatment and process factors, such as adherence and therapy session attendance, were examined in 100 veterans seeking treatment for trauma-related symptoms who were referred to a Veterans Health Administration medical center's tertiary care clinic for Prolonged Exposure (PE) or Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). Veterans who scored higher on MMPI-2-RF scales associated with emotional/internalizing problems were more likely to be referred to PE or CPT, but individuals with the highest scores on those scales were also more likely to withdraw before completing treatment. These findings suggest Harkness and Lilienfeld's (1997) call to use personality assessment to guide treatment planning holds promise to better understand treatment engagement.
