“…We therefore concentrated on the SAPAS [16], which exhibited encouraging results regarding the time required for completion (i.e., less than 5 minutes), and regarding its screening capacities where DSM-IV PDs were correctly identified in 90% of participants with a sensitivity of 94% and a specificity of 85%. Since the publication of the SAPAS in 2003, several researchers have used it in its initial form as an interview [37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47]. Various validations using new samples are also available [48][49][50].…”

Personality disorder assessments are time-intensive and require trained interviewers. They are unlikely to be performed on a routine basis. In clinical and general populations, there is a requirement for short and robust self-administered screening tests for personality disorders. We first translated the original form of the SAPAS into French and validated it in a clinical sample (n=28). This adaptation revealed properties similar to those of the original version. The first and second studies validated the adaptation of the SA-SAPAS as a self-administered questionnaire in clinical (n=45) and general (n=186) populations. We were able to use the same cut-off (score ≥ 2) in both the clinical and general populations and this permitted correct identification in 89% of the clinical subjects (sensitivity of 97.3%; specificity of 50%) and 86% in the general population (sensitivity of 87.5%; specificity of 85.7%). These results suggest possible applications for researchers and clinicians, either as a routine screening test or as a selection tool in both general and clinical populations.

“…The current findings support a more economical approach to the assessment of SUD, particularly one that has clinical utility in terms of identifying which patients may or may not struggle with adjustment to treatment. That is, the group differences on treatment process indicators suggest that clinicians may benefit from administering an omnibus measure of normal-range personality to SUD patients at the outset of treatment (Allen et al, 1994; Ben-Porath, 1997; Hesse & Pedersen, 2008) and using the resulting personality profile to guide development of treatment plans that are tailored to the unique patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving across individuals in SUD treatment.…”

There is a long history of using personality to subtype patients in treatment for substance use disorders (SUD). However, no one has validated a typology of SUD patients using a structural model of normal-range personality, particularly indicating whether subtypes differ on treatment processes and outcomes. We developed a personality-based typology among 196 military veterans enrolled in residential SUD treatment at a Veterans Affairs medical center. Patients were assessed at treatment entry, 1 month into treatment, and at discharge from treatment. Personality was assessed using the Multidimensional Personality Questionnaire-Brief Form at treatment entry. Latent profile analyses identified a 3-group solution consisting of low pathology, internalizing, and externalizing groups. The internalizing group scored lowest on measures of functioning at treatment entry, whereas the externalizing group scored more poorly on treatment processes and outcomes over the course of their residential stay (e.g., more stressful relationships with other residents, lower program alliance). These findings support a clinically meaningful typology of SUD patients based on a 3-factor model of personality and can serve as a guide for future efforts aimed at developing targeted interventions that can address the individual differences of patients in this population.

“…Undoubtedly, any knowledge about the personal characteristic of these groups of drug users sheds new lights on the more effective medical and psychological treatment for better outcomes. Thus, if routine personality assessment improves outcomes of SUD treatment, the clinical implication will be increasing the use of PD assessment in SUD treatment settings ( 21 ).…”

Background:Individuals with certain personality disorders, especially the antisocial and borderline personality disorders, are more prone to substance use disorders.Objectives:Regarding the importance of substance use disorders, this study aimed to explore the association between personality disorders and types of used drugs (narcotics and stimulants) in Iranian male substance users.Patients and Methods:The current study was a correlation study. We evaluated 285 male substance users and excluded 25 according to exclusion criteria. A total of 130 narcotic users and 130 stimulant users were recruited randomly in several phases from January 2013 to October 2013. All participants were referred to Substance Dependency Treatment Clinics in Tehran, Iran. Data collection process was accomplished by means of clinical interview based on DSM-V criteria for substance use disorders, Iranian version of addiction severity index (ASI), and Millon clinical multi-axial inventory-III (MCMI-III). Data were analyzed by SPSS 21 using Pearson correlation coefficient and regression, the.Results:There was a significant correlation between stimulant use and histrionic personality disorder (P < 0.001) and antisocial and narcissistic personality disorders (P < 0.05). In addition, correlation between avoidant, histrionic, and narcissistic personality disorders (P < 0.05) and depressed, antisocial, and borderline personality disorders (P < 0.001) with narcotics consumption were significant. In clusters, there was a significant correlation between cluster B personality disorders, and narcotic and stimulants consumption (P < 0.001). In addition, this association was explored between cluster C personality disorder and narcotics (P < 0.001).Conclusions:The results of this study in terms of personality disorders and types of used drugs were in accordance with the previous studies results. It is necessary to design appropriate treatment plans for medical treatment of those with personality disorders.
