U k - lelapsg of Mental Patient Can Be Predicted Chicago -(Science Service) -Whether a patient discharged from a mental hospital will need to be re-admitted within the next five years can be pre dicted with the use of a standard psychological ques' tlonnaire, David J, Gouws of the Western Psychiatric In stitute and Clinic, University of Pittsburgh, told a meeting ot tne American Psychologi cal Association here. In fact Gouws found three such questionnaires that could serve as such a psychia tric crystal ball. The first was a selection of ' 52 questions from- the Minnesota Multi phasic Personality Inventory, or MMPI to psychologists. This 52-question scale, known as the "Ps scale" was origi nally developed to measure probability of success of shock treament. The second was a scale developed to measure the adjustment of military personnel. The third was a kind of 'yes-man" measure, items also se lected from the MMPI to measure "acquiescence." Regardless of Treatment The three scales, Gouws found, could be used to predict the probability of relapse re gardless of the type of treat ment used, whether insulin or electric shock treatment or general hospital ' supportive care, including individual psychotherapy. The fact that the three scales predict improvement regardless of the type of treatment would seem to in dicate that what the scales measure is not so much re sponsiveness to shock treat ment as it is of a general characteristic, or group of characteristics, which has been called "propensity to im prove." Another use of a psychia tric interview scale was de scribed to the meeting by Drs. Donald R. Gorham and John E. Overall of the Veter ans Administration Central Neuropsychiaitric Research Laboratory at Perry Point, Md. These psychologists devel oped a short scale that could be used to reveal changes In the symptoms of patients aft er taking one of the tran quilizers. Approximately 80 patients were given each of six differ ent kinds of treatment. They were evaluated before and after treatment. , A short scale of only nine questions was found to be re liable for indicating the re sults of various treatments on the patients symptoms and is recommended by the investi gators for future research of this kind.
