“…With regard to the temperament dimensions, there is some evidence to suggest that novelty seeking (positively) and harm avoidance (negatively) are related to alcohol use (Koposov, Ruchkin, Eisemann, and Sidorov, 2005;Skeel, Pilarski, Pytlak, and Neudecker, 2008). Of the character dimensions, both cooperativeness and selfdirectness may be related to alcohol use (Egger et al, 2007). There is some work that suggests that these dimensions may help differentiate among individuals with drug use problems, alcohol problems, and polysubstance problems.…”

“…Cuando la tarea de evaluación se concibe de esta manera, es fácil entender cómo el MMPI-2 ofrece muchas ventajas sobre otras medidas de abuso de sustancias. El MMPI-2 ha sido ampliamente utilizado en estudios de pacientes dependientes de sustancias (Egger, Gringhuis, DeMey, Derksen, & Hilberink, 2007;Forbey & Ben-Porath, 2007;Gerra, Bertaca, Zaimovic, Pirani, Branchi, & Ferri, 2008;Rouse, Butcher, & Miller, 199) con una serie de escalas específicas que evalúa los problemas de abuso de sustancias: la Escala Revisada de Alcoholismo de MacAndrew (Mac-r;Mac Andrew, 1965;1981), la Escala de Adicción Potencial y la Escalas de Reconocimiento de la Adicción (APS & AAS; Weed, Butcher, McKenna, & Ben-Porath, 1992).…”

ResumenEl objetivo de este estudio es contrastar las diferencias de trastornos de la personalidad que muestra un grupo Clínico y otro Dependiente de sustancias, mediante el MMPI-2. Con un método descriptivo se analizan los resultados de tres grupos ya establecidos con un mismo número de participantes (113), género y edades: grupo Normal (sin evidencia de patología) grupo Clínico (con trastornos psicológicos que necesitan los servicios de un Centro de Salud) y Dependiente de sustancias (con problemas de adicción a sustancias e internas en una comunidad terapéutica). Se utilizaron los análisis con los estadísticos descriptivos, la d de Cohen y la Curva ROC. Los resultados mostraron la precisión diagnóstica y el poder predictivo de las principales variables del MMPI-2. El MMPI-2 confirma que, entre los grupos Dependiente y Clínico, no existen diferencias significativas en la tétrada psicótica y que sí existen características muy significativas del grupo Dependiente.Palabras clave: MMPI-2, comorbilidad, cbuso de sustancias, curva ROC AbstractThe objective of this study is to compare the differences of personality disorders that shows a group of clinical and other substances, using the MMPI-2 dependent. With a descriptive method are analyzed the results of three groups already set up with the same number of participants (113), gender and age: Normal Group (no evidence of disease) clinical group (with psychological disorders who need the services of a Health Centre) and dependent on substances (with problems of addiction to substances and internal in a therapeutic community). The analyses were used with descriptive statistics, d Cohen and the ROC curve. The results showed the diagnostic accuracy and predictive power of the main variables of the MMPI-2. The MMPI-2 confirms that, between dependent and clinical groups, there are no significant differences in psychotic Tetrad and that there are very significant characteristics of the dependent group.

“…In their MMPI‐2 typology study of AUD patients, Egger et al . [9] differentiated three types of alcohol dependence: (a) the antisocial, immature, risk‐taking type; (b) the negativistic, alienated, schizoid type; and (c) the anxious, passive, introverted type. Although they found evidence for convergent validity with measures of temperament and character, they nevertheless concluded that cluster differences may have been influenced by cognitive deficits during abstinence (e.g.…”

“…Unfortunately, while the NRI correction procedure was not available at the time, the original study of Egger et al . [9] does not address the difference in uncorrected and corrected profiles. However, re‐analysis of its data would enable the study of the clinical significance of the MMPI‐2 neurobehavioural (NRI) correction procedure in patients with AUD.…”

Introduction and Aims. Treatment planning for alcohol use disorder (AUD) patients is often preceded by the assessment of psychopathology and personality with the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2). However, during periods of abstinence, cognitive impairments (e.g. attention, memory and executive dysfunctions) related to neurological and somatic pathology may affect level and pattern of MMPI-2 scale scores, resulting in clinical misinterpretation. Design and Methods. A re-analysis of the data of the Egger et al. study is conducted in order to examine the clinical significance of the MMPI-2 profiles of 222 AUD patients (mean age 42.2 Ϯ 9.6 years; 76.6% men) by using neurologically relevant item correction procedures. Hierarchical cluster analyses of neurologically relevant item-corrected solutions were compared to the original MMPI-2 profile. Results. Impulsiveness and psychopathic deviation were identified as a common denominator. Discussion and Conclusions. Uncorrected MMPI-2 assessment in AUD tends to overstress psychopathology and to overlook disinhibitory traits in early abstinence, caused by chronic alcoholism. [Walvoort SJW, Wester AJ, Egger JIM.
