This study investigated the relationship of type of onset of disability to the MMPI‐2 profiles of 73 spinal cord patients receiving comprehensive inpatient rehabilitation. Participants were divided into three onset groups: non‐traumatic, passive‐traumatic, and active‐traumatic (active and passive participation in the injury). A 2 × 3 factorial MANOVA (gender and onset) with age as a covariate was performed on the MMPI‐2 profiles. A main effect for gender (scales D and MAC‐R) was found. The medical and functional impairments common to the onset subtypes suggest a somato‐psychic direction in psychological adjustment. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
