Abstract

The MMPI-2 test is one of the few psychodiagnostic instrument used in Italy which permits to identify distorted behaviours, simulation and dissimulation by means of specific scales .The aim of this research is to study the validity of the F-K dissimulation index of the MMPI-2 test and to determine its cut off values. This index permits a greater diagnostic accuracy between MMPI profiles, in which simulation an dissimulation problems are minimized or accentuated, and profiles compiled with spontaneity and in compliance with the clinical and forensic examinations . In forensic medicine field, the use of instruments that allow us to identify cases in which there are psychopathological accentuation or minimization for defensive or instrumental reasons, may represent an important contribution, in order to ascertain the validity of the results and to assess the credibility of patients’ answers, running out the risk of invalidating the whole research.
