Abstract

Fifty-six adult male batterers completed the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) as part of the standard screening and assessment process for a court-mandated aggression management treatment program. Data were analyzed via composite-mean and cluster analyses. MMPI results revealed a 4-2 profile for both the composite-mean analysis and the elevated profile revealed by the cluster analysis. Fifty-two percent of the MMPI profiles exhibited Scale 4 as one of the two scales in the high-point pair. Future research must incorporate multidimensional behavioral and personality assessment in order to enhance specific treatment approaches via matching procedures.
