Popis:	Changes in MMPI scores of 20 depressed patients (from placebo to drug) were correlated with changes in autonomic balance. In a second study, MMPI scores of 13 galvanic skin “reactors” and 25 “nonreactors” were compared. Results suggest that the MMPI is sensitive to differences in autonomic balance and reactivity and to apparent parasympathetic shifts and that autonomic non-reactivity to neutral stimuli in the environment may be indicative of severe psychopathology.
