ResumenExiste evidencia empírica que demuestra la relación entre patrones de personalidad, tipos de delitos violentos y consumo de drogas o alcohol. El presente estudio tiene como objetivo examinar la tasa de prevalencia de trastornos de personalidad en prisión (consumidores de drogas y maltratadores), utilizando como grupo control población encarcelada sin este tipo de delitos. Participaron en este estudio 45 hombres del Centro Penitenciario de Albolote (Granada) (15 consumidores de drogas, 15 maltratadores y 15 controles) que fueron seleccionados mediante la Escala de Severidad de la Adicción (EUROPASI; Bobes et al., 1996) y la Escala de Tácticas de Conflicto (CTS2; Strauss et al., 1996). Para evaluar los trastornos de personalidad se utilizó el Inventario Clínico Multiaxial de Millon. Encontramos que el grupo de consumo de drogas puntúa más alto en los trastornos de personalidad histriónico, antisocial, límite y agresivo-sádico en comparación con el grupo de maltrato y control y que el grupo de maltrato puntúa más alto en el trastorno de personalidad dependiente en comparación con el grupo de drogas y control. Nuestros resultados resaltan la necesidad de tener en cuenta la existencia de trastornos de personalidad en población clínica con el fin de diseñar estrategias de intervención y prevención para el consumo de drogas y el maltrato. AbstractThere is empirical evidence showing the relationship between personality disorders, violence crime and substance abuse problem. This study aims to examine the prevalence of personality disorders in prison populations (drug abusers and abusers), using as a control group a population imprisoned without these types of crimes. The participants were 45 men within the prison in Albolote (Granada) (15 drug abusers, 15 abusers and 15 control) and were selected following the Severity Addiction Scale (EUROPASI; Bobes et al., 1996) and the Conflict Tactics Scale (CTS2; Strauss et al., 1996). The Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory was used to assess personality disorders. We found that drug abusers had higher scores than abusers and controls in histrionic, antisocial, borderline and aggressive-sadistic, and abusers had higher scores than drug abusers and controls in dependent personality disorder. Our results highlight the need to take into account the existence of personality disorders in clinical population in order to design prevention and intervention strategies for drug abuse and domestic violence.
