Alcohol/Drug Treatment Interpretive Report Brian C., an 18-year-old high school dropout, was arrested for careless and reckless driving and possession of a large quantity of marijuana as he was leaving a beach party. He ran a stop sign and nearly collided with a police car that was entering the intersection. He was uncooperative with the arresting officers and was taken to jail.

3 His father refused to provide bail money, and Brian was detained for trial on drug dealing charges. Brian s relationship with his family had deteriorated greatly over the past year. Brian s parents own a small retail business in which Brian had worked during his early high school years. However, his relationship with his father worsened when Brian refused to comply with his rules. Brian s parents objected to his school absences and late hours and were disappointed with his poor performance on the job. At one point, Brian was accused of taking money from the business.

4 He dropped out of school after a year of failing performance and took a job as a waiter in a fast food restaurant where two of his friends worked. Because of a number of heated arguments with his parents, Brian , an only child, no longer lived with them but stayed with several friends in an apartment.

8 The client's responses to the MMPI-2 validity itemssuggest that he cooperated with the evaluation enough to provide useful interpretive information. Theresulting clinical profile is an adequate indication of his present personality PATTERNSThe MMPI-2 profile configuration with Scales Pd and Ma as the prototype was used to develop thisreport. This profile configuration shows very high definition. A high degree of confidence can be placedin the behavioral descriptions from the clinical scales that are provided in this report because the client'sprofile closely matches the prototype pattern in research literature that defines this profile type.

9 Theclient appears to have long-standing impulse-control problems. Extroverted, uninhibited, and ratherself-indulgent, he has a low frustration tolerance and a need for constant stimulation that cause him tobehave recklessly or irresponsibly at times. He apparently has an exaggerated sense of importance andmay have grandiose plans. He has a gift for charming others and for appearing self-confident, but hemay actually feel quite insecure and inadequate. This pattern of behavior reflects a number of persistentpersonality characteristics and is unlikely to change much over time.

10 Some individuals with this profiletend to "burn out" in later life and act out less, in which case a different pattern of symptoms mightemerge, including somatic distress, anxiety, and becomes involved in numerous activities, does not follow through sufficiently on commitments, andtends to deny problems or blame them on others. He may be having symptoms of irritation, agitation,changeable moods, and overactivity, and he may explode angrily when he becomes frustrated. Manyindividuals with this profile develop problems in day-to-day addition, the following description is suggested by the client's scores on the content scales.
