IntroductionAlcohol abuse and dependence are frequently associated with psychiatric disorders and Personality Disorders, with differences among genders. However, only few studies investigated gender differences in personality disorders among alcoholics.AimsThe aim of our study is to investigate personality disorders in a sample of inpatient alcoholics applying Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory - III, and to describe gender differences in prevalence and comorbidity of personality disorders.MethodsThe study population consist of 206 alcohol dependent patients entering detoxification treatment in a specialized clinic in Italy. At enrollment, patients filled in the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory - III for the assessment of personality disorders and the AUDIT Test for the evaluation of alcohol consumption.ResultsThe sample consisted of 150 men and 56 women. According to Millon assessment, 25% percent of men vs 12% of women had one PDs, 16% vs 23% had two PDs, and 46% vs 48% had more than three PDs. A statistically significant higher proportion of women got high scores on Avoidant (21.4% vs 9.3%, p = 0.020), Self-Defeating (50.0% vs 24.0%, p < 0.001), and Borderline scale (42.9% vs 25.3%, p = 0.015). Associations among PD are sporadic among men whilst are very frequent among women. Depressive, Self-Defeating and Borderline PDs are frequently associated both to other PDs and among each other, suggesting a possible female pattern.ConclusionsBorderline PD is confirmed to be more frequent among alcoholic women than among men. More studies are needed to clarify prevalence and associations of PDs, prognosis, and gender differences in alcoholics patients.

Negative life events (NLEs) increase the risk of suicidal ideation (SI) in adolescents. However, it is not known whether the association between NLEs and SI can be moderated by self-esteem and varies with gender. The aim of the current paper was to examine gender differences in the association of SI with NLEs in adolescents, and assess the effects of self-esteem on the association and their gender variations. We conducted a school-based health survey in 15 schools in China between November 2013 and January 2014. A total of 9704 participants aged 11–19 years had sociodemographic data reported and self-esteem (Rosenberg self-esteem scale), NLEs, and SI measured. Multivariate-adjusted logistic regression was used to calculate the odds ratio (OR) of having SI in relation to NLEs. Increased risk of SI was significantly associated with NLEs (adjusted OR 2.19, 95%CI 1.94–2.47), showing no gender differences (in females 2.38, 2.02–2.80, in males 1.96, 1.64–2.36, respectively). The association was stronger in adolescents with high esteem (2.93, 2.34–3.68) than those with low esteem (2.00, 1.65–2.42) (ORs ratio 1.47, p = 0.012). The matched figures in females were 3.66 (2.69–4.99) and 2.08 (1.61–2.70) (1.76, p = 0.006), while in males these figures were 2.27(1.62–3.19) and 1.89 (1.41–2.53) (1.20, p = 0.422), respectively. Self-esteem had moderate effects on the association between NLEs and SI in adolescents, mainly in females. NLEs, self-esteem, and gender need to be incorporated into future intervention programs to prevent SI in adolescents.

Summary: Hare's Psychopathy Checklist - Revised (PCL-R; Hare, 1991 ) was originally constructed for use among males in correctional and forensic settings. In this study, the PCL-R protocols of 36 matched pairs of female and male violent offenders were examined with respect to gender differences. The results indicated a few significant differences. By means of discriminant analysis, male Ss were distinguished from their female counterparts through their relatively higher scores on “callous/lack of empathy” (item 8) and “juvenile delinquency” (item 18), whereas the female Ss scored relatively higher on “promiscuous sexual behavior” (item 11). Some sources of bias and possible implications are discussed.
