Popis: Sixteen Briquet's syndrome psychiatric inpatients were compared to 32 age- and sex-matched psychiatric inpatient controls by using a structured diagnostic interview (PDI) and the MMPI. Briquet's syndrome patients have significantly more additional psychiatric syndromes on the PDI and significantly more MMPI validity and clinical scale elevations within the pathological range. The MMPI may be of use in screening patients for the presence of Briquet's syndrome.
