Abstract
MMPI profiles of 130 male veterans with cerebrovascular accidents were examined in relation to type and degree of neuropsychological deficit, hemispheric location of lesion, and time poststroke. Three neurobehavioral factors (Verbal, Visuospatial, Sensorimotor) were extracted from the Halstead-Reitan Battery and Wechsler Memory Scale. Canonical analyses revealed verbal impairment to be associated with greater openness in reporting emotional difficulties (Scale F) and limited social facility (Scale Hy). Sensorimotor deficits were associated with anxiety and distress (Pt) in patients with left hemisphere (LHD) but not right hemisphere damage (RHD). Although RHD and LHD patients had similar composite MMPI profiles, neuropsychological deficits in RHD were unrelated to MMPI scores. Time poststroke was independent of MMPI findings in both LHD and RHD samples.
