“…A number of studies have reported similar MMPI profile cluster types (Goldstein & Linden, 1969;Nerviano &Gross, 1983;Whitlock, Overall, &Patrick, 1971). This research has provided information as to how clusters of MMPI scales serve to describe types of abusers (Graham & Strenger, 1988). However, they have not provided specific indices for assessing alcohol and drug problems in clinical assessment.…”

We introduce two new scales for assessing substance abuse problems with the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2): the Addiction Potential Scale (APS), a 39-item empirically derived scale, developed by contrasting the responses of a large residential substance abuse sample with responses from both normative and psychiatric control groups; and the Addiction Acknowledgement Scale (AAS), a 13-item face-valid scale, constructed rationally and with attention to internal consistency. Both new scales are shown to discriminate well between groups and substantially better than other selected substance abuse scales. Covariation between the scales and joint effectiveness are examined. Finally, limitations for their practical utility are expressed, and considerations for future research are identified.

“…The first and second editions of the MCMI (see reviews by Craig & Weinberg, 1992a, 1992b and the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (see review by Graham & Strenger, 1988) have been the most widely used omnibus psychopathology inventories in substance abuse samples. Two methods are commonly used to identify psychopathology subtypes.…”

The concurrent and predictive validity of 2 different methods of Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-III subtyping (protocol sorting, cluster analysis) was evaluated in 125 recently detoxified opioid-dependent outpatients in a 12-week randomized clinical trial. Participants received naltrexone and relapse prevention group counseling and were assigned to 1 of 3 intervention conditions: (a) no-incentive vouchers, (b) incentive vouchers alone, or (c) incentive vouchers plus relationship counseling. Affective disturbance was the most common Axis I protocol-sorted subtype (66%), antisocial-narcissistic was the most common Axis II subtype (46%), and cluster analysis suggested that a 2-cluster solution (high vs. low psychiatric severity) was optimal. Predictive validity analyses indicated less symptom improvement for the higher problem subtypes, and patient treatment matching analyses indicated that some subtypes had better outcomes in the no-incentive voucher conditions. Addiction subtyping research has identified constellations of personality dimensions (Barnes, Murray, Patton, Bentler, & Anderson, 2000) and psychiatric disorders (Kranzler & Rounsaville, 1998) that are associated with the onset and severity of substance abuse and may have relevance for predicting treatment response. The presence of co-occurring psychiatric disorders seems to indicate a need for specialized or more intensive addiction treatment, and depression, antisocial personality, and general psychiatric symptom severity have been the most commonly investigated problems. Depressed cocaine abusers benefit from cognitive-behavioral coping skills and pharmacotherapy (Carroll et al., 1994), and opiate abusers with greater psychiatric severity improve with more intensive psychosocial programs (McLellan et al., 1983). Antisocial alcohol abusers seem to have better outcomes with coping skills than with interactional approaches (Kadden, Cooney, Getter, & Litt, 1989;Longabaugh et al., 1994), although Kadden, Litt, Cooney, Kabela, and Getter (2001) failed to replicate this effect. Antisocial methadone patients do as well as (Brooner, Kidorf, King, & Stoller, 1998;Silverman et al., 1998), and perhaps better than (Messina, Farabee, & Rawson, 2003), non-antisocial patients when provided with potent behavioral incentives, individual psychotherapy (Woody, McLellan, Luborsky, & O'Brien, 1985), or enhanced psychosocial services (Cacciola, Alterman, & Rutherford, 1995;Cacciola, Rutherford, Alterman, McKay, & Snider, 1996). The current study evaluated psychopathology subtypes derived from the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-III (MCMI-III;Millon, 1994), the most recent edition of a widely used instrument that measures Axis I and II diagnoses of the fourth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV; American Psychiatric Association, 1994) and is also rooted in a biopsychosocial personality theory that may be relevant to the treatments compared in this study.

“…Kod osoba s poremećajima vezanim uz uporabu PA tvari, u usporedbi s kontrolnim skupinama, češće su utvrđene osobine ličnosti poput emocionalne nestabilnosti, introverzije u smislu preosjetljivosti i nepovjerljivosti (Wilson, 1987. ), i sklonosti traženju uzbuđenja (Allen i sur., 1998.;Fisher i sur., 1998.;Graham i Strenger, 1988.;Martin i Sher, 1994.). Ovakvi nalazi upućuju na zaključak da neke osobine ličnosti mogu služiti kao rizični čimbenik za pojavu problema sa zlouporabom PA tvari (Swendsen i sur., 2002.).…”

Cilj provedenog istraživanja bio je ispitati postoje li spolne razlike u prosječnim rezultatima na EPQ skalama između ovisnika o heroinu, konzumenata marihuane i ispitanika kontrolne skupine te ispitati moderatorske utjecaje spola na osobine ličnosti mjerene EPQ skalama. Istraživanje je provedeno na tri skupine ispitanika obaju spolova, od kojih su prvu činili ovisnici o heroinu, drugu konzumenti marihuane, a treću ispitanici iz kontrolne skupine kod kojih ne postoji indikacija za poremećaj vezan uz uporabu PA tvari. Utvrđeno je da muški ovisnici o heroinu postižu značaj-no više rezultate na skalama psihoticizma i neuroticizma, a niže na skalama ekstraverzije i laži od sudionika u kontrolnoj skupini. Rezultati žena kreću se u istom smjeru, s iznimkom rezultata na skali ekstraverzije, na kojoj nisu utvrđene statistički značajne razlike između skupina. Među ovisnicima o heroinu žene postižu značajno više rezultate na skalama psihoticizma i neuroticizma, dok u skupini konzumenata marihuane žene postižu više prosječne rezultate na skali neuroticizma od muškaraca.Ključne riječi: ovisnost o heroinu, konzumenti marihuane, spol, osobine ličnosti Vesna Antičević, KBC Split, Klinika za psihijatriju, Centar za psihotraumu,
