In this paper, the most frequent personality disorders related to alcoholism are described. A sample of 70 alcoholic patients who answered the MCMI-II in the course of pre-treatment assessment was selected. According to results, the 62,8% of them showed at least one personality disorder. The most prevalent ones were the passive-aggressive (34,1%), the antisocial (20,4%) and the dependent (20,4%). Furthermore, the prevalence of personality disorders according to gender and abuse of other substances was compared. Results obtained with these variables showed the existence of significant differences. Finally, implications of this study for clinical practice and future research in this field are commented upon.Downloads
