To investigate the potential usefulness of Faschingbauer's (1974) abbreviated MMPI with parents of emotionally disturbed children referred for residential treatment 180 MMPI profiles were scored for this short form and scores compared with norms from the standard MMPI. While correlations were significant, many mean scores on the Faschingbauer were significantly different from those on the full MMPI. Modest correspondence between the two formats on indexes of psychopathology, profile peaks, and validity criteria was found. Use of this form is not justified with the present population.
