Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
Une étude a été menée auprès de 80 héroïnomanes inscrits dans un programme de désintoxication de Belgrade. En plus d'un diagnostic de dépendance basé sur le DSM III R, un questionnaire a mesuré 3 éléments fondamentaux de leur personnalité : recherche de la nouveauté, évitement des dommages et dépendance à la récompense.
ENGLISH :
A survey of 80 opiate addicts included in a detoxification program was conducted at the Institute on Addictions in Belgrade. In addition to a dependence diagnosis and mental disorders based on DSM-III-R, we applied a Tridimensional Personality Questionnaire (TPQ) that measures the 3 major personality dimensions: novelty-seeking (NS), harm avoidance (HA) and reward dependence (RD). When compared with a control group (a sample of Yugoslav undergraduate students), the opiate addicts demonstrate significantly high NS dimension as well as significant divergences of HA and RD subscales. The surveyed opiate addicts demonstrate a high percentage of personality disorders specifically in cluster B. The personality dimensions of opiate addicts showed certain temperament traits, such as: impulsiveness, shyness with strangers, fear of uncertainty and dependence. NS, HA and RD determined by temperament specifics may be an etiological factor in forming of a personality disorder, an affective disorder as well as of a drug choice.
