More Information
Summary:The Millón Clinical Multiaxial Inventory (MCMI) personality disorder scales and the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems (IIP) circumplex scales were administered to 177 patients being treated for alcohol dependence. Schizoid, avoidant, and negativistic patients reported problems with being too guarded and distant; narcissistic patients with being too domineering; compulsive patients with being too unassertive; antisocial and paranoid patients with being both guarded and domineering; histrionic patients with being both open and domineering; and dependent patients with being both open and unassertive. Comparisons with previous research suggest the interpersonal implications of personality disorder measures are consistent across different populations.
