Abstract: | "This study constitutes an attempt to devise simple, widely applicable, and maximally precise indices to aid in predicting hospitalization of psychiatric outpatients, as well as to formulate a partial operational definition of the concept, 'latent psychiatric illness'… . Three forms of index were derived, one consisting only of nonpsychometric variables, one consisting only of MMPI signs, and one comprising both nontest and MMPI factors." 24 references.
