Abstract

The present study compared the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventoryβ€”2 (MMPI‐2) clinical and content scale profiles of a group of adult women (N = 73) charged with either murder of their child (filicide) (n = 30), their partner (mariticide) (n = 19), or an unrelated adult (homicide) (n = 24). No significant differences were seen among the three groups on either the MMPI‐2 clinical or content scales. Clinical inspection of the 53 valid MMPI‐2 profiles (F < 110T) revealed a 6–8 mean profile for the filicidal women, a 2–6 mean profile for the mariticidal women, and a 4–8 mean profile for the homicidal women. Application of the data for criminal forensic psychological evaluations is discussed. Β© 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc., J Clin Psychol 57: 367–374, 2001.
