Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
La prévalence des troubles de la personnalité (selon le DSM-III) est évaluée dans une population de 179 toxicomanes sous méthadone. Un trouble de la personnalité est retrouvé chez des patients ayant des problèmes professionnels, psychiatriques et familiaux, ainsi qu'un risque accru d'infection par le VIH, ceci indépendamment du type de trouble.
ENGLISH :
The prevalence of DSM-III personality disorders were assessed in a sample of 179 male methadone maintained opiate addicts. The discrimant validity of three personality disorder (PD) groupings were compared with respect to Axis I disorders, functioning in a number of important life areas, risk for HIV infection, and social judgment/sensitivity. Results showed that a PD, regardless of the number or type, identified patients with more employment, family/social, and psychiatric problems, increased risk for HIV infection, and poor social judgment/sensitivity. Few differences were revealed when three clusters of PDs (Cluster A, B and C) were compared. With few exceptions, subjects with antisocial PD were no worse off than those with any other PD with respect to current functioning.(Author's abstract)
