ABSTRACT

The histories of incarcerated women exhibit a multitude of personality issues including psychopathy, trauma, and interpersonal dependency. Two studies were undertaken to better understand these issues with psychopathic (PCL-R ≥ 30; N = 115) and non-psychopathic (PCL-R ≤ 24; N = 53) women incarcerated for drug, theft, fraud, violence, and sex offenses. In the first study, trauma symptoms were compared on Rorschach variables, TSI-2, and PAI scales. The female psychopathic group experienced more problems related to intrusive experiences and dissociation (TSI-2, Rorschach). In the second study, interpersonal dependency was also examined with the PAI, TSI-2, and Rorschach. The psychopathic females had higher rates of interpersonal dependency (PAI, Rorschach). Based on our findings we discuss the relationship between trauma and interpersonal dependency and the meaning of these testing variables and concepts within the personality functioning of these antisocial women.

摘要

被监禁妇女的历史表现出许多人格问题，包括精神病、创伤和人际依赖。进行了两项研究以更好地理解精神病患者（PCL-R ≥ 30；N = 115）和非精神病患者（PCL-R ≤ 24；N ）的这些问题= 53) 因毒品、盗窃、欺诈、暴力和性犯罪而被监禁的妇女。在第一项研究中，创伤症状在罗夏墨迹变量、TSI-2 和 PAI 量表上进行了比较。女性精神病患者群体经历了更多与侵入性经历和分离相关的问题（TSI-2，Rorschach）。在第二项研究中，还使用 ​​PAI、TSI-2 和罗夏墨迹测试检查了人际依赖性。精神病女性的人际依赖率更高（PAI，罗夏）。根据我们的发现，我们讨论了创伤与人际依赖之间的关系，以及这些测试变量和概念在这些反社会女性的人格功能中的意义。
