Two groups of Vietnam veterans‐Post‐traumatic stress disorder (PTSD, n = 17) and non‐PTSD (n = 80) — were developed from a sample of treatment‐seeking alcohol abusers. The subjects completed a Combat Experiences Questionnaire, a PTSD Symptom Scale, the MMPI, and the Multidimensional Personality Questionnaire (MPQ). The MPQ proved to be a useful adjunct to the MMPI in describing the major manifestations of PTSD among alcohol‐abusing veterans.
