Extract

In an article published in 1961 entitled “MPI results in cases of endogenous depression before and after treatment” (7, in Swedish), the authors (Wretmark, Åström and Ölander) showed inter alia that the Lie scale in the Maudsley Personality Inventory (3, 8) has a certain value when it comes to predicting the ability of patients with endogenous depression to regain social function. In view of the restricted material, the authors are careful in their conclusions, but it appears from the article that “high values on the Lie scale can be seen as an unfavourable prognostic factor with reference to the patient's ability to re-adapt to working life after treatment for endogenous depression”.
