Personality disorder, emotional intelligence, and locus of control of patients with alcohol dependence

Abstract

Aim:To assess personality disorder (PD), emotional intelligence (EI), and locus of control of alcohol dependent (AD) patients and its comparison with normal controls.Materials and Methods:Based on purposive sampling technique, 33 AD patients were selected from the De-Addiction Ward of Ranchi Institute of Neuro-Psychiatry and Allied Sciences (RINPAS) and 33 matched normal subjects were selected from Ranchi and nearby places. Both the groups were matched on various sociodemographic parameters, that is, age, gender, and socioeconomic level. All participants were assessed with Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-III, Mangal EI Inventory, and Locus of Control scale. Obtained responses were scored by using standard scoring procedures and subsequently statistically analyzed by using Chi-square test.Results:AD patients have more comorbid pathological personality traits and disorders in comparison to their normal counterparts. Depressive, narcissistic, and paranoid PDs were prominent among AD group; followed by schizotypal, antisocial, negativistic, dependent, schizoid, sadistic, masochistic, and borderline PD. In comparison to normal participants, AD patients were significantly deficient in almost all the areas of EI and their locus of control was externally oriented.Conclusion:Patients with AD have significantly higher PDs, low EI, and an external orientation on the locus of control. Identification and management of these comorbid conditions are likely to improve the management and outcome of AD.

Prevalence and correlates of personality disorders in males with alcohol dependence syndrome undergoing inpatient treatment in a tertiary care hospital in South India

“…[ 4 ] Another Indian study that used Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-III found that depressive, narcissistic, and paranoid PDs were prominent in the alcohol dependence group. [ 5 ] Determination of the prevalence of PDs in alcohol-dependent individuals using a clinician-administered semi-structured diagnostic interview will be a valuable addition to the literature from India. In the above context, the present study was conducted to estimate the prevalence of personality disorders in individuals with alcohol dependence syndrome undergoing inpatient treatment and to determine the sociodemographic and clinical correlates of personality disorders in these patients.…”
