Abstract
This study examined the MCMI‐II in samples of cocaine‐dependent subjects who were receiving treatment in three separate residential facilities. Profile characteristics, patterns of scale stability, and change are reported. MCMI‐II elevations are found in all three samples on the Antisocial, Aggressive/Sadistic, Narcissistic, Passive‐Aggressive, Borderline, Drug Dependence, and Alcohol Dependence scales at both intake into treatment and discharge. Moderate stability coefficients are found on Basic Personality, Pathological Personality, and Symptom scales. Although some statistically significant mean scale changes between intake and discharge are noted in each sample, few involve change from clinically elevated to below clinical levels. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
