Abstract: The article describes a concurrent prediction of Work Interference scores on the MMPI-2 with a sample (N = 82) of participants in a court-mandated residential substance abuse treatment facility. Anxiety and Low Self-Esteem were significantly related to Work Interference (R = 0.80, P < 0.0001). Implications for administrative policy, counseling practice, and future research are discussed.
