Guest guest Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Clinical profiles of Hare Krishna devotees MW Ross The author tested the entire population (N = 42) of the Hare Krishna Temple in Melbourne on the MMPI, the General Health Questionnaire, and the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire psychometric indices and then randomly selected 6 subjects to take the Present State Examination. All scores and findings were within the normal range, although members showed a slight decline in mental health (as measured on the MMPI) after 1 1/2 years in the movement and a slight increase in mental health after 3 years in the movement. These findings do not support the popular view that many members of the Hare Krishna movement are mentally disordered. http://ajp.psychiatryonline.org/cgi/content/abstract/140/4/416 ard How low will we go?
