“…Histrionic, Narcissistic, Antisocial, and Borderline scales scores were used for statistical comparison between groups. Number of items and Cronbach's alpha for each scale were as follows in the Spanish adaptation of the MCMI-III (Millon, Davis, & Millon, 2007): Histrionic (17 items, ␣ = .80), Narcissistic (24 items, ␣ = .70), Antisocial (17 items, ␣ = .76), and Borderline (16 items, ␣ = .82). Means and standard deviations for the scale in each group of batterers are presented in Table 1.…”

a b s t r a c tIn this study we apply the versatile/specialist offender debate to the research of intimate partner violence. We propose the existence of two types of imprisoned male batterers: the generalist and the specialist batterer. The individual, family, and community characteristics of these types of batterers are further explored in 110 imprisoned males in the Penitentiary of Villabona (Spain). As for the individual characteristics, results indicate that the generalist batterer present higher levels of psychopathology (specially antisocial and borderline personality), sexist attitudes, and substance dependence. Specialist batterers presented higher levels of conflict in their family of origin. Finally, generalist batterers reported coming from more socially disordered communities and showed lower levels of participation and integration in these communities than the specialist batterer. These results suggest that the classical distinctions among batterers based on psychopathology and context of violence (whether general or family only) might be of little utility when applied to imprisoned male batterers. Generalistas frente a especialistas: hacia una tipología de maltratadores encarceladosPalabras clave: Maltratador Encarcelado Tipología Psicopatología Comunidad Familia Historia delictiva r e s u m e n En este estudio aplicamos el debate del delincuente versátil/especialista a la investigación de la violencia de pareja. Proponemos que hay dos tipos de maltratadores masculinos en prisión: el generalista y el especialista. Se profundiza en la exploración de las características familiares, individuales y comunitarias de ambos tipos de maltratadores en 110 varones encarcelados en la prisión de Villabona (España). Sobre las características individuales los resultados indican que el maltratador generalista tiene niveles elevados de psicopatología (sobre todo personalidad antisocial y límite), actitudes sexistas y dependencia de sustancias. Los maltratadores especialistas tenían niveles elevados de conflicto con la familia de origen. Por último, los maltratadores generalistas afirmaban que procedían de comunidades más desestructuradas socialmente que los maltratadores especialistas. Estos resultados indican que la distinción clásica entre maltratadores según la psicopatología y el contexto de la violencia (únicamente la general o familiar) pudiera ser poco útil en el caso de los maltratadores masculinos encarcelados. In the last decades, the study of typologies of batterers has provided empirical evidence on the heterogeneous nature of partner violence and has pointed out how typologies could be of help in identifying different etiological mechanisms of partner violence (Capaldi & Kim, 2007).

“…This suggested that the instrument's predictive validity could be improved. Millon, Davis and Millon (1997) however report very different positive predictive validities, ranging from .33 (delusional) to .93 (drug abuse), with an average of .64 across all PD and axis 1 disorders. Millon et al (1997) also report Kappa levels ranging from .23 (anxiety) to .84 (paranoid), suggesting highly discrepant levels of test-retest reliability.…”

The definition, classification and assessment of personality disorders (PDs) have attracted considerable debate for nearly 50 years. This paper attempts a comprehensive review of the instruments to assess all, or specific, individual disorders as described in DSM-5, including structured interviews and inventories. The review should be helpful for clinicians, researchers and also industrial and organizational psychologists, to screen and assess the personality pathology spectrum from subclinical manifestations to full blown personality pathology. A decision tree helpful to choose among the different measures is also provided.

The Denver staff continues to collaborate with the Florida State University site and seek guidance from its senior advisors, the Military External Advisory Board, and the Independent Scientific Peer Review Program. The MSRC is on track with its goals and is financially mindful in leveraging funds and reviewing its infrastructure to increase the funds available to support additional research. The MSRC also submitted a grant application to extend through years 6-10, establishing new research priorities and extending its scope. SUBJECT TERMS• Funding research projects Introduction:The Military Suicide Research Consortium's ultimate goal is suicide prevention in the military, through research, including on primary, secondary, and tertiary interventions, as well as through information management/scientific communications (cataloguing and disseminating knowledge on military suicide). Specifically, suicidal personnel compromise force readiness, place a strain on the healthcare resources of the military, impact unit morale, and take a large emotional toll on the involved friends, family, and commanders. There is significant stigma associated with being suicidal, which limits the extent to which at-risk individuals are willing to seek help. Moreover, decision-makers need a go-to resource for accurate, efficient, and fast answers regarding suicidal behavior as policies and programs are devel...
