A total of 51 students being treated for various kinds of emotional disturbances by "conference therapy" was given the MMPI during the early phase of their treatment and retested after some improvement was noted toward the end of therapy. A control group of healthy students, not in treatment, was subjected to the same test-retest procedure. A number of comparisons of test scores between the groups as well as before and after treatment are presented. Among other findings it was discovered that the D, Pt, and Sc scales were most sensitive to therapeutic changes, and a suggestive reduction in scores was also obtained on other scales.
