ABSTRACT

Current investigation focused on the criterion validity in a forensic sample of the Dutch language version of the Shedler-Westen Assessment Procedure (SWAP-200-NL), a personality assessment instrument completed by the examiner. We inquired into two areas: a) possible differences between a forensic and general mental health care population for SWAP-200-NL Personality Syndromes (PS) and Trait Dimensions (TD;N = 68), and b) explore criterion validity of SWAP-200-NL PS and TD scales for data from criminal records (N = 114). An ANOVA showed significantly higher scores for the forensic group on antisocial-psychopathic PS and psychopathy TD and lower scores on dysphoric, obsessional, high functioning depressive and avoidant PS than those for the general population. Furthermore, antisocial-psychopathic PS and psychopathy TD correlate negative with the age of first sentenced offence and positive with the number of sentenced offences in the past. Also, for the number of sentenced offences in probationary period we found significant mean differences for antisocial-psychopathic PS, and psychopathy and narcissistic TD. In contrast, criminal data showed inverse associations with scales representing obsessional, avoidant and depressive tendencies. In conclusion, present results support the differential diagnostic potential of the SWAP-200-NL and its clinical utility in forensic settings.

摘要

目前的调查集中在荷兰语版 Shedler-Westen 评估程序 (SWAP-200-NL) 的法医样本中的标准有效性，这是一种由审查员完成的人格评估工具。我们调查了两个领域：a) SWAP-200-NL 人格综合症 (PS) 和特质维度 (TD;N = 68) 的法医和一般精神卫生保健人群之间可能存在的差异，以及 b) 探索 SWAP-的标准有效性犯罪记录数据的 200-NL PS 和 TD 量表（N = 114）。方差分析显示，法医组在反社会精神病 PS 和精神病 TD 方面的得分明显高于一般人群，而在烦躁、强迫、高功能抑郁和回避型 PS 方面的得分较低。此外，反社会精神病 PS 和精神病 TD 与首次被判刑的年龄呈负相关，与过去被判刑的次数呈正相关。此外，对于试用期内被判刑的罪行数量，我们发现反社会精神病态 PS、精神病态和自恋 TD 的平均差异显着。相比之下，犯罪数据与代表强迫、回避和抑郁倾向的量表呈负相关。总之，目前的结果支持 SWAP-200-NL 的鉴别诊断潜力及其在法医环境中的临床实用性。和精神病和自恋的TD。相比之下，犯罪数据与代表强迫、回避和抑郁倾向的量表呈负相关。总之，目前的结果支持 SWAP-200-NL 的鉴别诊断潜力及其在法医环境中的临床实用性。和精神病和自恋的TD。相比之下，犯罪数据与代表强迫、回避和抑郁倾向的量表呈负相关。总之，目前的结果支持 SWAP-200-NL 的鉴别诊断潜力及其在法医环境中的临床实用性。
