摘要: Abstract Cognitive impairment among seriously mentally ill offenders has implications for legal matters (e.g., competency to stand trial), as well clinical treatment and care. Thus, being able identify potential cognitive concerns early in the adjudication process can be important when deciding on further interventions. In this study, we examined validity scales of Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI), scores Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-IV (WAIS-IV), findings male inmates (n = 61) diagnosed with a serious mental illness. Lower WAIS-IV significantly (p = 0.001) predicted invalid, versus valid, PAI profiles, working memory most significant (p = 0.004) predictor an invalid profile. Ancillary analyses smaller sample (n = 18) indicate that those profiles were more likely deemed legally incompetent (p = 0.03). These suggest may informative detecting help clinicians make determinations about restoration treatment.
