Summary:A sample of 18 psychiatric inpatients who had completed the MMPI-2 and subsequently received an irregular discharge from inpatient treatment were compared on the MMPI-2 Negative Treatment Indicators scale (TRT) with a random sample of 18 inpatients who received a regular discharge from inpatient care. Analysis showed no significant difference between the two groups on the Negative Treatment Indicators scale. The two groups did differ in K scale elevation. The possible need to interpret the Negative Treatment Indicators scale in the context of K scale elevation is discussed.
