Abstract

This study was investigated to find out psychological characteristics of post-traumatic stress disorder(PTSD) patients who were at law because of compensation after traffic accident. MMPI was administered to 50 PTSD patients and 1-2-3-7-8 profile was founded by total mean of T score of each MMPI scale. Three groups were noted by multivariate cluster analysis of each T scores. They were 1-3-7-8 profile and above 70 T score(8%), 3-1-2 profile (22%), and 1-3-2-7-8 profile(70%). The results indicated that the most typical MMPI characteristics of PTSD was "floating profile", that is, the increase of both neurotic and psychotic scale. In addition to this, the authors founded the probability of somatic displacement as another characteristic of PTSD.
