I have heard that sometimes people who score high in areas like schophrenia can in fact be very artistic and/or metaphysical and I'm also interested in discussion of how a subject who has had significant psychotherapy might be more adjusted, either having overcome difficulties or learning to manage them so that the MMPI-2 interpretation might not accurately reflect a persons level of functioning. An example might be someone who is successfully managing OCD. All the MMPI-2 test results I've seen clearly caution that it's important to look at a person's history and functioning to determine the significance of test schores that are <> the average testee, but I need substaintiation to present the alternative explaination. Ideally, if someone can point me to a book, website, a professional journal or even a research center or university that has some documentation or research on this issue.
