Abstract
Objective:
To investigate whether in a sample of men with alcohol dependence those with comorbid phobic disorders had higher persistence scores than those without.
Method:
Ninety-nine men with moderate-severe alcohol dependence recruited from an alcohol treatment programme were interviewed using the Structured Clinical Interview (SCID) and completed a Tridimensional Personality Questionnaire (TPQ).
Results:
Subjects with a comorbid phobic disorder had significantly higher persistence scores compared to those without.
Conclusions:
The temperament dimension, persistence, is associated with phobic disorder.
