Abstract
The relationships of high-point code types of the Diagnostic Inventory of Personality and Symptoms (DIPS) to the Diagnostic and statistical manual III-R (DSM-III-R; American Psychiatric Association, 1987) were explored for adolescent patients (N = 263). Twelve DIPS code types that relate code types to Axis I diagnoses are prepared. The three DIPS personality disorder cluster scales and the eight combinations thereof are presented as well. Six of the personality disorder cluster scale code types that relate to DSM-III-R Axis II categories are identified. Finally, a narrative summation of each of the code types is given.
