MCMI . . . quoting from manual . . .did you ask for a copy
yes
did you get one?
no
ability to read entire article
no
how they relate to the entire text
no
are you familiar with use of MCMI test and MMPi . . . how many you have done?
thousands . . . two thousand maybe?
article In Forensic Evaluation - a survey of psychologists . . . about the McMI - survey asks what percentage of time they are used for court (forensic eval) . . .. MCMI used 55% . . . .on average over 118 times per year and for 18.5 years . . . in forensic matters no problems using an MCMI test? not if used correctly! you used it correctly with JA? yes
over 117 psychologists queried . . 55% time for forensic work had over 18.5 years experience . . . much more than 3 years . . . .
MCMI - you were shown some looks like numbers . . .
exhibit #541 - this is the first page - the profile
yes
on 2nd page - base rate scores
lets talk about base rate first
see the numbers 65, 75, 85 . . . . in the MCMI if you don't get it you don't use it . . . that s strong evidence that the area that exceed 75 is significant factor - should not use this alone , along with interviewing the client . . . he had a hypothesis she had PTSD . . yes
if ignored MCMI and only conduted this test . . .would that be a problem in how this instrubment is used?
yes
number exceed 75 very strong trait . . . strong enough to use without other information to form a diagnosis . . .
other things besides MCmI?
yes
relative strengths and average score . . . .if high enough to confirm your hypothesis . . . PTSd has 69 . . . anxiety scores 75 . . . .
are those the 2 highest scores . . .yes I remember that . . . that means to me anxiety is certainly a feature of ptsd . . . realtively high score in that set of variables
lost feed for a commercial - sorry
the review of all additional material I reviewed and the fact the PDS test suggested presence of PTSD . . . .
complete mischaracterization . . .. if someone doesn't have a 75 . . .
Iwould say
not even a Dr. saying that
I would say so
MCMI - how it was created . . . normed
when you do a test like this - you give the sample questions - you give more than th ones that were chosen . . . you administer test amongst those diagnosed with that particular diagnosis . . . . complex system of analysis which is beyond me at this point . . . correlates to specific diagnositic . . .test are scored against others with this wi th algorithm . . . ongoing process - validation rate keeps changing . . . mcmi was not created last year . . . continually being validated?
yes
already dx with ptsd an other conditions . . ..those people take this test . . . the validation study . . . their test would be scored - big math calculation. . . once scored gives you what people with Ptsd typically present with . . . correct
expect to see in someone you don't know for sure if they have ptsd is that what you need to compare it with? yes
you aleady had a hypothesis?
I did
she was suffering from a form of ptsd
things said in the interview- enough evidence of ptsd . . . .referring to incident of TA . . . her childhood - it became clear to me . . I had formulated my diagnosis earlier . . . diagnose to a test that is normed to people . . . .yes this test is derived from the DSM. . . . high anxiety score we could turn to DSM we can feel fairly certain the diagnosis will conform to the criteria in the DSM
MCMI correlates with, based upon, overlaps with DSM . . . . compare what it means what anxiety means in the DSM . . . is that why MCMI is a better tool in this situation?
in this aprticuar situation it was precisely what I was looking for. . .
more valid to give JA normed to general population
no it is better to give test normed on population I hypothesized about - to confirm it.
question of whether JA felt uncomfy with TA having oral sex wih her the first time - she was uncomfortable . . . . first time TA and JA had oral sex together - it was uncomfortable circumstances . . . don't know if that was the time TA gave her the book of Mormon
objection - leading
approach please
