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.
