Re:Litigious Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) Profiles

LITIGIOUS MINNESOTA MULTIPHASIC PERSONALITY INVENTORY (MMPI) PROFILES...

"In terms of predispositions, the question could be asked, is there 'a litigious profile' on the MMPI/MMPI-2? The answer is yes and no. Essentially, there is a cluster of non-psychotic paranoid profiles where there appears to be a substantial increment in the readiness to file lawsuits, appeal administrative decisions, or otherwise litigate.

Interesting. Now I ask, does the MMPI provide for a definition of counter transference of therapist against client in a pre or post litigious situation, or description of fear of a real or imagined litigious situation on the part of the therapist toward client, when therapist feels unjustly sued, despite that such a suit may well be warranted against the therapist on the part of the client for any host of reasons, which could compel the therapist to behave in a self-righteous manner and in a negative way towards client, as a result of a Psychopathic Deviate State, or fitting with a psychiatric diagnosis of paranoid personality, which would lead therapist to lie as a result of feelings of resentful martyrdom where therapist feels forced with no choice to do so to restore his/her lost or damaged rights and reputation as a therapist?
