Objective : Psychopathy has been suggested as one of the important cause of violence in patients with schizophrenia. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the personality disorder in criminal schizophrenia. Methods : A total of 187 criminal schizophrenia participated in this study. All participants filled out the Korean Inventory of Interpersonal Problem Personality Disorder Scales (K-IIP-PD), Psychopathic Personality Inventory-Revised (PPI-R), Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI). Using the correlations between the scales, we investigated whether K-IIP-PD could be used to evaluate personality disorder in criminal schizophrenia. Moreover, participants were divided into two groups of psychopathic and nonpsychopathic schizophrenics, and scores of K-IIP-PD were compared between the two subgroups. Results : The overall correlation between the scales was very high. In particular, sum of 3 item scores (interprsonal sensitivity+interpersonal ambivalence+aggression) and aggression of K-IIP-PD were highly correlated with PPI-R and PAI. Total score of personality disorder scale and subscales were higher in psychopathic schizophrenic group compared to nonpsychopathic schizophrenic group. Conclusion : The K-IIP-PD could be used to assess the antisocial and aggressive nature of criminal schizophrenia. Further studies in various clinical groups including the general population are required.

Objectives : This study was to investigate the correlation of the Percepted Maternal Love and the characteristics of personality showed on MMPI scale, of the Oriental Medical University students. Methods : For this study we carried out the MMPI profiling and Percepted Maternal Love Scale on self-check test term, among 46 senior students who are attending Oriental Medical University. After collecting the data, we studied the correlation between the two measures. Results : 1. As the Percepted Maternal Love score increased, the Depression and Social Introversion score decreased conversely. 2. As the Percepted Maternal Love score increased, the Avoidant personality disorder score decreased. 3. As the Percepted Maternal Love score increased, Narcissistic personality disorder score increased as well. 4. As the scale of percepted mother's increased, the depressed, socially introverted character, and avoidant personality of the children decreased, and the self-loving personality character increased on the contrary. Conclusions : By the above results, we can come to the conclusion that in order to nurture the children to be self-loving and not to be depressed or intimidated, the mother must try to make sure that her children actually do perceive how much they are loved.

Objective : This study aimed to find out whether the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2-Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF) scales are useful in distinguishing social anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and major depressive disorder. Methods : The study sample included 118 patients: 33 with social anxiety disorder, 53 with major depressive disorder, and 32 with panic disorder. Participants were classified according to the diagnosis indicated on their medical records. MMPI-2-RF scores were derived from MMPI-2 protocols. Results : The results of multivariate analysis of variance showed that the elevated scales were consistent with the diagnostic and clinical characteristics of each diafnostic group. Logistic regression analyses identified several scales that were useful in differentiating the diagnostic groups. The higher Cognitive Complaints (COG) scale significantly differentiated major depressive disorder from the other groups. The higher Self-Doubt (SFD) scale and Somatic Complaints (RC1) scale were useful in differentiating social anxiety disorder and panic disorder respectively. The lower Cynicism (RC3) scale was also useful in differentiating social anxiety disorder. Other scales that were useful in distinguishing between pairs of groups were also identified. Conclusion : The results of this study suggest that the MMPI-2-RF scales can be useful for discriminating anxiety disorders.

Objectives: This study investigated whether the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-Adolescent Restructured Form (MMPI-ARF) can differentiate between two groups of adolescents, one diagnosed with internalizing disorders and another with externalizing disorders, and examined the clinical utility of the MMPI-A-RF by examining which subscales can significantly discriminate between these two groups. Methods: A total of 105 adolescents aged 13-18 years completed the MMPI-A-RF (53 internalizing disorder and 52 externalizing disorder groups). Independent t-test, chi-square test (χ²), and discriminant analysis were used to examine whether MMPI-A-RF can distinguish between the two groups. Results: Sixteen MMPI-A-RF scales best predicted differences between the groups with internalizing and externalizing disorders. Fourteen scales (Higher-Order Scale [Emotional/Internalizing Dysfunction], Restructured Clinical [RC] Scale [RC demoralization, Somatic Complaints (RC1), and Low Positive Emotions (RC2)], Personality Psychopathology Five Scale [Introversion/Low Positive Emotionality-Revised, Negative Emotionality/Neuroticism-Revised], Somatic/Cognitive Scale [Malaise, Head Pain Complaints, and Gastrointestinal Complaints], Internalizing Scale [Stress/Worry, Self-Doubt], Externalizing Scale [Negative School Attitudes], Interpersonal Scale [Social Avoidance, Shyness]) were associated with the internalizing disorder group, whereas two scales (Externalizing Scale [Conduct Problems, Negative Peer Influence]) were associated with the externalizing disorder group. Conclusion: The MMPI-A-RF can be an efficient assessment tool for a quick diagnosis as it can classify individuals with internalizing and externalizing disorders in clinical settings that lack a variety of assessment tools for children and adolescents.

Objective : The aim of this study is to evaluate the five-factor model of personality in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) related to obsessive-compulsive symptom severity and the distinct symptom subgroups. Methods : We recruited 95 patients with OCD and 116 normal controls in the study. We used the short version of Revised NEO Personality Inventory and the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) for the assessment. Results : Patients with OCD showed significantly higher scores in neuroticism than normal controls. On multiple linear regression analysis, we found that agreeableness and conscientiousness were associated with the total Y-BOCS scores. On subscale analysis, agreeableness and neuroticism were associated with the obsession subscale scores and only conscientiousness was associated with the compulsion subscale scores. Furthermore, we found that patients who have contamination/cleaning or symmetry/ordering/counting/arranging as a main symptom presentation had significantly higher mean scores in conscientiousness than patients who have harm due to injury/violence/aggression as a main symptom presentation. Conclusion : In this study, we found that specific personality factors are associated with the obsessive-compulsive symptom severity. In addition, this is the first study to investigate the relationship between the personality factors in the five-factor model and the distinct symptom subgroups in OCD.

공황장애 환자에서 동반되는 인격장애의 양상을 조사하고, 인격장애 특성의 과다(過多)에 따른 공황증상의 심각도, 만성도, 전반적인 정신병리의 차이를 알아보고자 자기보고형 측정도구인 Personality Disorder Questionnaire-Revised(PDQ-R)와 간이 정신상태검사(SCL-90-R)를 이용하여 조사하였다. 대상은 전형적인 공황장애 환자 45명과 성별. 나이, 교육정도를 조합한 건강대조군 45명이었으며 이들에게 PDQ-R을 실시하여 공황장애 환자군과 대조군의 인격장애 양상을 비교 조사하였다. 또한 공황장애 환자만을 대상으로 공황증상의 심각도와 함께 SCL-90-R로 인격장애 동반여부에 따른 증상의 차이를 조사하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1) 공황장애 환자들은 대조군에 비하여 전체 PDQ-R점수가 유의하게 높게 나타나 차이가 있었다. 공황장애군은 대조군에 비하여 편집성, 의존성, 회피성 인격의 특징과 함께 반사회성, 경계성 경향을 나타내었다. 2) PDQ-R총점이 높은 집단과 낮은 집단 사이에 광장공포증상과 불안증상이 유의한 차이가 있었으나, 공황발작 빈도, 공황증상의 최근 심각도, 공포증상으로 인한 사회적 기능장애, 만성도 여부, 광장공포증 때 회피 및 공포증상의 정도에는 차이가 없었다. 3) SCL-90-R을 이용하여 동반증상을 알아본 결과 PDQ-R총점이 높은 군은 낮은 군에 비하여 모든 증상 항목이 의미 있게 높게 나타났다. 이러한 본 연구의 결과는 PDQ-R을 이용한 인격장애 측정시 동반증상이 영향을 미쳐 혼합되어 나타났을 가능성을 고려해야 하겠으며 앞으로 더욱 체계적인 조사방법과 함께 추적조사를 통하여 치료에 따른 인격장애의 변화를 관찰해야 하겠다.

연구목적 : Alexithymia(감정표현불능증)는 내면적 감정을 올바로 인식하거나 언어적으로 표현하기 어려운 상태를 뜻하는 용어이다. 최근에는 말로 표현하는데 장애가 있는 것만이 아니라 인지과정에서의 결함도 강조하고 있다. 그리고 감정은 신체증상과 전반적인 건강상태에 영향을 준다는 점에서 정신신체연구에 매우 중심적인 역할을 하고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 신체형 장애 환자와 정신신체장애의 하나로 알려져 있는 당뇨병 환자를 대상으로 alexithymia의 척도를 비교하고 이 환자들에서의 정신병리와 성격특성을 알아 보고자하였다. 방법 : 본 연구는 만 18세 이상의 신체형장애 환자 20명, 당뇨병 환자 20명 그리고 정상 대조군 20명을 대상으로 세 군의 alexithymia의 정도, 정신병리 및 성격특성을 알아보기 위하여 각각 Toronto Alexithymia Scale(TAS), 한국판 Symptoms Check List 9G-R(SCL-90-R) 및 Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire(16-PF)를 이용하여 세 군간의 차이를 분석하고 TAS와 SCL-90-R 및 TAS와 16-PF와의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 결과 : 1) TAS에 따른 세 군간의 비교에서는 신체형장애 환자군이 당뇨병 환자군과 정상 대조군보다 유의하게 높은 수치를 나타냈다. 2) SCV90-R에 의한 비교에서는 신체화증상과 불안증상 척도에서 신체형장애 환자군이 당뇨병 환자군과 정상 대조군보다 유의하게 높게 나타났다. 강박증상, 우울증상, 공포증상 및 정신증상 척도에서는 선체형장애 환자군이 정상 대조군보다 유의하게 높게 나타났다. 전체지표 중 전체심도지수는 신체형장애 환자군과 당뇨병 환자군이 정상 대조군보다 높았고, 표출증상심도지수는 신체형장애 환자군과 당뇨병 환자군이 정상 대조군보다 높았으며 표출증상합계에서는 신체형장애 환자군이 정상 대조군보다 유의하게 높은 결과를 보였다. 3) 16-PF에 의한 비교에서는 지능요인에서만 정상 대조군이 신체형장애 환자군보다 높게 나타났고 다른 요인에서는 차이가 없었다. 4) TAS와 SCL-90-R과의 상관관계분석에서는 신체형장애 환자군에서 표출증상심도지수를 제외한 모든 척도에서 정적 상관관계를 보였다. 그러나 다른 두 군에서는 유의한 상관관계를 보이지 않았다. 5) TAS와 16-PF와의 상관관계분석에서는 모든 대상군에서 유의한 상관관계를 보이지 않았다. 결론 : 신체형장애 환자군이 당뇨병 환자군이나 정상 대조군에 비하여 높은 alexithymia 척도와 많은 정신병리를 보였다. 그리고 신체형 환자군에서의 높은 alexithymia 척도는 정신병리와 유의한 정적 상관관계를 보이고 있었다. 당뇨병환자들은 정상 대조군과 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 그러므로 신체형장애 환자들에게는 감정을 표현하고 그들의 정신병리를 완화하거나 해소할 수 있는 치료적 접근이 도움이 되겠고, 당뇨병환자들에게는 우선적으로 신체질환의 상태를 호전시킬 수 있는 치료가 더욱 필요로 하겠다.
