“…To date, there is limited literature focused on assessing the predictive ability of PAI subscales with a number of treatment-related variables (Charnas et al, 2010;Edlis-Matityahou, 2010;McCredie et al, 2018;Nevid et al, 2019). To extend this work, some researchers have conducted item-level correlations between PAI items and relevant treatment factors to develop new indices that may aid in diagnosis and treatment planning (Aita et al, 2017;Gaines et al, 2013;Sinclair et al, 2015Sinclair et al, , 2016.…”

“…Research has established that PAI scales predict clinically relevant patient behaviour as well as process and outcome variables across treatment settings and populations. For example, the PAI has been found to predict symptom change and clinical outcome in an inpatient chemical dependency unit (Nevid et al, 2019), compliance and withdrawal in psychotherapy (Charnas et al, 2010; Edlis‐Matityahou, 2010; Percosky et al, 2013), chronic pain treatments (Clark et al, 2010), misconduct and violence in forensic settings (Gardner et al, 2015), chronic suicidality (Edens & Douglas, 2018) and specific pathological personality traits and disorders (Busch et al, 2017; Hopwood et al, 2013) among other important factors.…”

Based on the results of prior research, we examined relationships between Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI) items on clinical scales of antisocial features (ANT) and anxiety‐related disorders (ARD) with patient‐ and therapist‐rated alliance early in treatment (third or fourth session). We also explored the relationship between the PAI treatment rejection scale (RXR) and early session therapist‐rated alliance, despite null findings in previous work. We used PAI protocols from a clinical outpatient sample (N = 80). Data were analysed using backwards linear regressions. Results indicated that a group of ANT items from different ANT subscales predicted patient‐rated therapeutic alliance, F(8,59) = 5.182, p = .000, R2 of .413, f2 = 0.70. Additionally, a group of ARD items from different ARD subscales significantly predicted therapist‐rated alliance, F(6,62) = 3.007, p = .012, R2 of .225, f2 = 0.29. No significant relationships were found for RXR items and therapist‐rated alliance, consistent with prior findings. Clinical implications are discussed.

“…The PAI is a broad measure of psychological pathology including alcohol and other drug use. 51 The PAI contains multiple validity scales to assess concealment and resistance to mental health treatment. This assessment quantifies various psychological domains including mood disorders, personality disorders, and somatic complaints.…”

Alcohol-related liver disease is the most common indication for liver transplantation. It is essential for providers in transplantation to be informed of the state of the science in evaluation of alcohol use disorder (AUD). This review examines the broad range of approaches to the evaluation of AUD ranging from traditional interview approaches to recent literature on artificial intelligence models. The empirical support for methods of evaluation is examined. The authors discuss the use of each method in the context of patients seeking a liver transplant for alcohol-related liver disease. This review emphasizes the importance of using objective assessments so that transplant centers make evidence-based decisions and reduce cognitive bias. The review concludes with a proposed assessment battery for evaluation and bridges to future directions in the field of AUD assessment in liver transplantation.

“…With respect to general dimensions of personality, substance users tend to display elevated levels of reactivity, negative inventories such as Multidimensional Personality Questionnaire (MPQ) and the Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI). For example, our research groups used multidimensional personality inventories to examine psychopathological personality traits in substance use disorder groups 28 .…”

Efforts to understand personality features of people who use psychoactive substances have a long history, dating back to early psychoanalytic conceptualizations. Advancements in the field have focused on applying multidimensional personality inventories to better understand personality differences between substance users and non-users, and between different substance use types, with respect to both psychopathological traits and broad dimensional factors. A brief review of this evidence highlights personality features of persons with alcohol and other substance use problems and between users of different types of substances, especially alcohol and opioid substance use disorder patients. A better understanding of personality profiles of substance use disorder groups may be useful in tailoring treatment approaches based on profile characteristics.Medical and psychological research literature documents a long history of attempts to identify and characterize personality profiles associated with problematic substance use. Approaches to this question have varied, utilizing objective, projective, dimensional, and categorical measures of personality as well as psychoanalytic formulation of substance use behavior. Studies initially focused on examining evidence for the existence of an "alcoholic" or "addictive" personality structure that may predispose individuals to engage in problematic alcohol and drug use.Research efforts have shifted away from attempts to identify an overriding concept of a single personality type 1 . More recent work seeks to develop etiologic predictive models that identify and compare personality profiles of users and nonusers and between users of different substances. Furthermore, these newer approaches have increasingly used more complex and integrative models incorporating both biological and socioeconomic factors. The current paper provides a brief narrative review of research evidence exploring personality profiles of individuals with substance use disorders as well as differences in personality traits among users of different substances. Understanding differences in personality patterns may help inform targeted intervention efforts to address personality-level factors that underpin substance use and risk factors in substance use disorders, which may differ among individuals who use different substances. Psychoanalytic ApproachesEarly psychoanalytic approaches emphasized drives toward libidinal gratification and defenses against aggressive impulses as the basis for addiction and substance use [2][3][4] .
