Phases of Psychopathology After Assassination
Abstract
An Arabic man who assassinated a prominent American politician was tested with the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory six weeks and five months after the crime. Analysis of both tests by a psychiatric diagnostic computer program revealed a schizo-affective psychosis with paranoid features. The authors recommend the computer method of diagnosis for medicolegal cases in which public opinion has been aroused and the specialist's objectivity may be impaired.
