RESUMENObjetivo y métodos: Pacientes varones de una comunidad terapéutica (102 individuos) de una ciudad del sur de Brasil, con un diagnóstico primario de dependencia de cocaína, que fueron evaluados con el Sistema exhaustivo de Exner para el Rorschach con el fin de describir la psicopatología de la personalidad. Resultados: Presencia de lambdas altos en el 62% de los pacientes. El 60,8% de los pacientes dieron positivo en el índice de déficit de recursos (CDI) y el 22,5% en el índice de depresión. Se observó menor presencia de otras constelaciones (<5%). Conclusiones: Un CDI positivo, la medición de la resolución de dificultades y de la falta de habilidades sociales, incide en el éxito del tratamiento, como en el caso de la selección de intervenciones para corregir dificultades interpersonales. Por tanto, en estos pacientes debe hacerse una valoración de la personalidad. ABSTRACTObjective and methods: Male patients in a therapeutic community (n=102) from a city in southern Brazil, with a primary diagnosis of cocaine dependence, were evaluated with Exner's Comprehensive System for the Rorschach, with the objective of describing personality psychopathology. Results: High lambdas were present in 62% of patients. 60.8% of the patients scored positive in the Coping Deficit Index; 22.5% in the Depression Index. Other constellations were infrequently present (<5%). Conclusions: A positive CDI, a measure of difficulty in the management of complexities and poor social skills, may have treatment-matching implications, such as the selection of interventions targeted at interpersonal difficulties. Personality assessment should be considered in such patients.
