Although the cognitive effects of @entity131 ( @entity131 ) have been well investigated, emotional problems are less well understood. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship of the length of @entity909 ( @entity909 ) and the severity of @entity73 (HRNB) to personality changes after @entity542 . The subjects included 320 chronic @entity131 @entity1 . A multivariate analysis was conducted using HRNB (three levels), as measured by a modified @entity73 Index and @entity909 (four levels), as the independent variables, and 30 scales from the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) as the dependent variables. Multivariate Fs were significant for both HRNB and @entity909 . Follow-up ANOVAs and t-tests revealed a consistent pattern of findings across both variables. The data indicated that the reported emotional problems increased with the severity of both @entity909 and HRNB, except in the most severe groups. The severe subjects when defined by either variable displayed high levels of denial and a lack of awareness of their problems. @entity909 and HRNB contributed independently to the degree of @entity1314 , however, @entity909 was found to be a stronger predictor of personality change than was HRNB at milder levels of severity. The implications of these findings for both treatment and understanding of the mechanisms of @entity542 are discussed.
