Description: In Psychoanalysis and Psychoanalytic Therapies, Jeremy D. Safran discusses this uniquely influential theory and set of approaches. Initially founded on the principles and practice of Sigmund Freud, these therapies and psychoanalytic theory have been developed and elaborated over the past century by a variety of theorists, clinicians, and researchers. There are many different approaches to psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic therapy, but they all tend to share features in common, such as a focus on the exploration and expression of feelings and efforts to avoid painful feelings and experiences; exploration of clients' ambivalence about changing; identification of self-defeating patterns of feeling, thinking, and relating; exploration of wishes and dreams; and exploration of the therapeutic relationship. Safran presents and explores this influential, practical, and thoughtful approach, its theory, history, therapy process, primary change mechanisms, and the empirical basis for its effectiveness. He also examines developments that have refined the theory and expanded how it may be practiced. This essential primer, amply illustrated with case examples featuring diverse clients, is perfect for graduate students studying theories of therapy and counseling, as well as for seasoned practitioners interested in understanding how this approach has evolved and how it might be used in their practice. Part of the Theories of Psychotherapy Series.

Is Mahindra Thar used as regular vehicle for highway travelling?
By: Sushil Jawale on 25 august 2016
1 Answers:
Yes, Mahindra Thar can be used as regular vehicle and for highway travelling, indeed many people are using it for their day to day work and also for weekend long drive, although from outside it looks old fashioned but from inside cabin is now totally different from older models, has upgraded instrument cluster, seats are now more comfortable with better cushioning, leg room and under thigh support, driving seat is very supportive and offers good all around visibility of the road.
Thar has very powerful engine with no turbo lag, but the clutch pedal has a long travel and is a bit heavy so little inconvenient in city traffic, power steering is very responsive and feels light at low speeds, it gives a car like feel, cabin is better insulated than previous models,
suspension set-up is at the stiffer side but for security point of view it lacks airbags and ABS.

The Conjurer
The occult was a topic which carried interest when I was a young man, and as I advanced in age, my curiosity grew in tandem. My upbringing had nothing to do with my interests; my parents were not religious folk and I never once attended a mass or a church service. Funerals and weddings were the events for which I would set foot into a chapel, and my bowed head followed prayers in monotony. I did not believe in any form of higher power.
My grandfather from my mother's side was the origin of my fancies concerning beings from an otherworldly realm. He was a quiet man who lived in a manor built upon a hill that overlooked the distant city, the perfect viewing site to see the lights inside houses flick off as the night grew dark and the sandman visited each home. I often visited during vacations. In his parlor, there were bookshelves stocked with tomes regarding every subject one could imagine; medicine, religion, history, geography, art, biographies, and cooking were the most featured. When I would spend the night there, he would lend me a book with his personal recommendation. They were fairy tales at first. As I matured, they shifted towards darker tales: the works of Aleister Crowley, writings on Lilith, Faust's dealings with Mephistopheles, and studies of ancient texts regarding demons of Hebrew lore. These were fairy tales of a darker nature. Though I did not take any such fable as anything more than myth, they never failed to mesmerize me and demand my eyes stay glued to the pages.
My grandfather passed when I was forty. Twelve years before him, my father died in an automotive accident; five years after that incident, cancer claimed my mother. When a lawyer read my grandfather's will to the gathered mourners, of which there were few, it revealed that I was the heir to his isolated chateau. I and my belongings arrived three weeks later. By this time, I had not married nor sired any children. Life as a war correspondent kept me abroad and didn't allow much time to develop a complete romantic relationship. With the money left to me by my grandfather, a hefty sum which came with the manor, I was able to retire comfortably.
Having spent several days moving in, I was free to roam the halls and explore the lonely house in its entirety. There were rooms which I never saw as a child. My family and I kept to the first and second floors while visiting, never ascending to the third and fourth. These floors included five bedrooms, three bathrooms, a collection of taxidermied beasts and trophy heads, an empty storeroom, and a small museum of quaint items such as a sword dated from the Norman Conquest of England and an octogonal mirror from Japan. The trinkets sat in glass display cases. One of the exotic knickknacks caught my eye as I admired the dusty exhibits: a thick book one thousand pages in length with a white, leather cover emblazoned by an obsidian-colored symbol. It was an intricate crest which resembled three ring of decreasing size, their outlines warped as though they were made of twisting, thorned vines. Gazing from the center was a smaller mark. At first glance, the insignia was a pentagram, but the six points showed that it was no such shape. Intrigued, I opened the unlocked case and took the tome to the parlor.
What I found that night as I sat in the solitary longue was a medley of rituals, spells, and hexes dating back to the days of the Uruk period, some before Gilgamesh took the throne as its legendary king. I read two hundred pages. My eyes stung as I slept, though I found myself awake until dawn as my head repeated the incantations and curses that I memorized and skimmed, each detail and component fresh in my mind. When I rose the next day at noon, I forsook breakfast and wandered to the parlor, eager to continue pursuing the yellowed pages of the tome.
I completed another hundred. My reason for stopping was not due to hunger or fatigue. One of the rites was bookmarked by a red tassel, the title written in text which I recognized as Hellenic while the instructions were scribed in English which appeared Elizabethan. It detailed the procedure for conjuring an otherworldly being, illustrating a summoning circle that bared resemblance to the six-pointed star on the cover and listing ingredients the sacrament demanded. The routine was straightforward. Having no other tasks that required my attention, I entertained the idea of performing the ancient spell as a joke.
All that I needed was found in a cabinet in my grandfather's bedroom: several vials of mercury, a block of brimstone, bone-colored chalk, a lump of peat, and a matchbox missing half its matches. I waited until nightfall. The ritual required that it be conducted under the light of the moon, lest it fail and force me to postpone the conjuration. Beneath the dim illumination of the ashen moon, I recreated the illustration with the chalk, composing the seal on the black stone patio. At each of the six points of the star, I emptied a vial of mercury, taking care to ensure that none of the liquid silver licked my fingers. In the center stood I with the remaining components. Red and orange flames grew from the peat as it burned in the center of the celestial crest, providing minute light as I recited the chants recorded in the book. Finally, I placed the brimstone chunk in the muted blaze, completing the ritual after uttering three more lines from the hymn.
A sudden light blinded me. It was a flash as sudden as a gunshot, filling my eyes with a piercing white glare that pained me worse than staring at the midday sun. My vision faded back to normal. I was greeted by the sight of seven-foot high flames encasing me within the center of the emblem, brighter than the collective light of the stars and moon. The scathing heat was ignored by my body as I screamed and thoughtlessly stumbled through the burning walls, my clothes scorched and hair singed, but my skin remained unharmed.
I hastily returned armed with a hose. As I raised the nozzle and aimed at the inexplicable inferno, my eyes saw what must have been a hallucination or pareidoliac fantasy: standing in the fire were figures in black, hooded cloaks that obscured their faces. They were misty in the blaze, wavering in conjunction with the dancing embers and wavering flames. None in the illusionary horde advanced. My hands trembled and my heart raced as I raised the hose, dousing the fire and transforming the chalk insignia into a muddled, murky mess as the pale dust mixed with the water.
The water poured until no spark remained. I dropped the hose and returned to my room, smelling of smoke and soot, yet I felt no lethargy from the late-night folly; rather, my heart raced from excitement. When morning came, I found that I had changed from my charred clothes and cleaned myself of the black grit which covered my face and arms. Despite having no recollection of having done either, I released a relieved sigh as I got out of bed, stepping into a pair of slippers to see what damage, if any, the patio sustained during my idiocy.
When I set foot onto the stone patio, I discovered that there was no trace of the fire, the emblem, or any other evidence of the butchered sacrament. I returned to my room and looked in the mirror, finding that my hair showed no signs of the fire, disheveled as it was. Dark circles created by lack of sleep marred my eyes but otherwise gave no indication that I charged through pillars of flame and became sprinkled by ash. It was a dream. That was my only explanation.
Whether that dream was a forlorn delusion or had an affect on me thirty years ago, I led a peaceful, if not reclusive, life from that point onwards. Much of my free time passed within the confines of the manor. Despite reaching seventy years of age, I don't appear a day older than forty. It is quite possible that I have become more youthful in body and mind, as I am able to better recall events I hitherto struggled remembering. My hair hasn't grayed from its jet-black, despite having been blond before the ritual, and my crimson eyes, once cerulean, remain bright and joyful. I've grown stronger in spite of a lack of exercise, notwithstanding my nightly walks in the city where I arrogate those unfortunate to cross my path and haul them to my lair. The screams don't bother me. This manor built upon a hill that overlooks the distant city is my personal oasis, a hidden paradise where none may interrupt my developing sorcerery.

Girl Reaction when she is Caught after Stealing Something
Girl Reaction when she is Caught after Stealing Something
In the mind of the shoplifter, stealing seems so easy. You may have done it once or twice and gotten away with it. This may go without saying, but clearly the more times someone has shoplifted, the more at risk they are to do it again. Most people "figure it out" pretty quickly and stop on their own. If a teen girl has stolen several times and, whether caught or not, there are three primary forces at work which make it difficult to stop; greed, excitement and habit. If you are having trouble stopping, you would do well to deal with all three of these forces.
First, greed; the free item. Greed draws us to getting and taking free stuff. It helps if you look at the "free item" and determine if it was really "free." Actually, there are many prices to pay when you have a stolen item. Don't take my word for it, challenge me! Clearly, the fact that you have stolen is something you will know and remember for the rest of your life. Do you really want to carry that kind of baggage around? Hopefully, after the excitement wears off and you aren't trying to laugh about having stolen anymore, you will realize there is a very personal price to pay in gilt, remorse, self esteem, pride and character. If you are religious, then it would probably be smart to recognize that there are only ten big rules for you to follow and the 8 th one is all about stealing. If you are caught stealing, the added "price" of this free item is the lost of trust from the people you love and care about. Even if your friends laugh with you about it, what are they really thinking? Do they "really" think it's cool? You should realize that there are many juveniles and adults who had to take their time to go to court, do community service work, pay penalties and who are serving time in detention or jail for having stolen. Add up all of the time it takes from you and you will quickly see that the item wasn't really "free". Maybe the biggest price to pay comes from how it affects your life. Let's face it, we all want to be happy and to live a positive upbeat life. Shoplifting is a negative event. Shoplifting results in negative self talk, a negative self image and negative social, family and legal interactions. We all want, and love to get, stuff free. The price we pay for this kind of greed is, indeed, very high. Just think about it. Girl Reaction when she is Caught after Stealing Something
Second, the excitement – breaking the rules, doing that which is taboo. Okay, life gets boring now and then. Teens in particular seek out fun, excitement and adventure. Stealing is one way to bring some form of excitement into your life. But, if you are seriously wanting to stop stealing then it is incredibly easy to find other ways to replace stealing with more positive and just as exciting alternatives. Tried rock climbing lately? Ever tried snowboarding? Want to get you heart pumping? Try sports! There is no question in my mind that we are all gifted at something. The trick is to search until you find it. Music? Video games? After school activities, chess, bicycling, become a big sister to someone who needs you. Finding excitement is only limited by your imagination. Heck, you can find some pretty exciting books that can overcome any sense of bordom! Girl Reaction when she is Caught after Stealing Something
Thirdly stealing can become a habit; not just a stealing habit but also a thinking habit. I have worked with thousands of shoplifters and the one thing I know for sure is that those who can say they have stolen many times in their past, they will always say that "thinking about stealing" has become a part of their day. What I have learned is that allowing yourself to think about stealing (whether you are in a place you could steal or not) is poisonous. I tell the teens I work with that if they are willing to allow themselves to think about stealing something, they are "dancing with the devil." My entire staff are instructed to give only one piece of advice to people who steal; and here it is, "If . . . you want to STOP stealing . then you MUST . STOP allowing yourself to think about it. Girl Reaction when she is Caught after Stealing Something
For most of us, having the though of stealing something cross our mind would be horrifying and create a huge negative emotional reaction. For the person who has stolen a few times they become numb to how wrong that kind of thinking is. They entertain the thought of stealing. If you are serious about wanting to stop stealing, then you need to regain that huge negative emotional reaction to the thought of it. Yes, it is true that many (if not most) people have thought about stealing. But, the point is not that the thought crossed their mind; the point is all about how we respond to those thoughts. There is a clear difference between a shoplifter and someone who doesn't steal. The person who has stolen several times has forgotten how abnormal that kind of thinking is. The shoplifter allows herself to think about stealing – to have the thought of stealing cross her mind. The person who doesn't steal quickly and naturally self punishes those thoughts. Yes, the stealing behavior is what was wrong, but thinking about stealing is what needs to change if you really want to stop. Girl Reaction when she is Caught after Stealing Something

|RE: help - Tomcat/Linux deployment
|Mon, 13 Jan 2003 14:00:14 GMT
Howdy, I can't help much with DBCP, but I noticed your other thread was hijacked with a "how did you get DBCP to work? ..." question ;) I did want to comment on something else: >Also, immediately after I start Tomcat on Linux I see a lot (26) of java >processes running. As I understand, they are Tomcat internal threads >launched as OS processes, because Linux JVMs (I tried both SUN's and >IBM's) use "green", not native threads. Be careful interpreting the Linux ps/vmstat command output with regards to JVM memory consumption and thread usage. More information on this issue is available in the list archives, so you may want to search there. Tomcat by default will record that it's starting a new request processing thread in its log. So you can look there and see how many request processing threads tomcat has running. There are only a few threads on top of that (main, finalizer, timer, etc, the standard JVM threads). >Now, as the time goes by, the number of these threads/processes grows, and Do you create any threads in your app? If so, be careful to close them appropriately. >when I try next morning to login, the server cannot create extra processes >needed to fulfill the client's request, because on Linux/UNIX the number >of user processes is limited. Typically DBCP will not try to create extra threads after its initialization and definitely not after pool fulfillment. >Can anybody tell me if I understand this right, and what might be a >workaround? A three-pronged approach: - See if you can increase the number of user processes via something like ulimit on Solaris, - Make sure you don't create extra threads, run tomcat with the minimum number of threads you can afford (this depends on how many concurrent users you need to support) - Run your application in the development environment, where everything works, for a prolonged period of time (> 1 day) and see if the same error repeats. Post more information once you have it, and I'm sure we'll be able to offer more help ;) Yoav Shapira Millennium ChemInformatics -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:email@example.com> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:email@example.com>

Your answer is one click away!
I have some issue with Firefox when my cursor leave the current window.
In the sample of the code I release the old target style, which works fine on IE and Chrome, but not on Firefox if my cursor leave the current window the "instance.Target.style" is undefined.
Have I done something wrong, or Firefox choose to have a different behaviour ?
function WidgetGrid_MouseMove(domEvent,instance)
// Get the target element
var target = domEvent.target;
// Release the old target
if (instance.Target && instance.Target != target)
instance.Target.style.cursor = "";
// Set the new target
instance.Target = domEvent.target;
// Do other thing
instance.Target.style.cursor = null;
Different browsers check for empty variables differently. That is why it is good practice to do something like:
var instance = instance.Target.style.cursor;
if (instance === "" || instance === null){
//do something.....

Gender differences in personality patterns and smoking status after a smoking cessation treatment
Health behavior, health promotion and society
The lack of conclusive results and the scarce use of the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-III (MCMI-III) in the study of the relationship between smoking and personality are the reasons that motivated the study reported here. The aim of the present study was to analyze the influence of personality patterns, assessed with the MCMI-III, and of nicotine dependence on treatment outcomes at the end of the treatment and at 12 months follow-up in men and women smokers receiving cognitive-behavioral treatment for smoking cessation.
The sample was made up of 288 smokers who received cognitive-behavioral treatment for smoking cessation. Personality patterns were assessed with the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-III (MCMI-III). Abstinence at the end of the treatment and at 12-month follow-up was validated with the test for carbon monoxide in expired air.
The results showed significant differences by personality patterns that predict nicotine dependence (Narcissistic and Antisocial in men and Schizoid in women). At the end of the treatment it is more likely that quit smoking males with a Compulsive pattern and less likely in those scoring high in Depressive, Antisocial, Sadistic, Negativistic, Masochistic, Schizotypal and Borderline. In women, it is less likely that quit smoking those with the Schizoid pattern. At 12 months follow-up it is more likely that continue abstinent those males with a high score in the Compulsive pattern. Furthermore, nicotine dependence was an important variable for predicting outcome at the end of the treatment and smoking status at 12 months follow-up in both men and women.
We found substantial differences by gender in some personality patterns in a sample of smokers who received cognitive-behavioral treatment for smoking cessation. We should consider the existence of different personality patterns in men and women who seek treatment for smoking cessation.
In recent years, a large number of publications and studies have focused on the analysis of the relationship between personality traits, from different theoretical models, and cigarette smoking. A part of such research has concentrated on describing which personality traits are most frequently found in smokers
Other studies have assessed the extent to which certain personality traits are related to success or failure in smoking cessation and maintaining abstinence
Other research, based on Millon's personality model, has tried to identify which personality patterns are most common among smokers. Millon defines the personality patterns as a set of attributes that are neither a category nor a dimension, but rather a synthesis of both of them. Patterns that make up the personality of the individual are the results of the inter-relation between contextual and constitutional factors, and are considered to be dynamic styles on a continuum from normality to pathology, which makes possible intervention and change
Thus, Fernández del Río et al.
Therefore, on the basis of Millon's model, research suggests that certain personality patterns are associated with greater difficulty for smoking cessation and with higher likelihood of relapse, while others would be associated with the maintenance of abstinence. However, the results are still somewhat inconclusive and further research is necessary.
The lack of conclusive results and the scarce use of the MCMI-III
The aim of this study is to analyze the influence of the personality patterns, assessed with the MCMI-III, and of nicotine dependence on treatment outcomes at the end of the treatment and at 12 months follow-up in men and women smokers receiving cognitive-behavioral treatment for smoking cessation.
The sample was made up of smokers seeking smoking cessation treatment at the Smoking Cessation Unit of the Faculty of Psychology at the University of Santiago de Compostela (Spain) during the period January 2009 to June 2011. Participants were recruited through the media, by GPs' recommendation and by word of mouth from people who had taken the treatment previously. Inclusion criteria were: age 18 or over; a wish to participate in the treatment program; and smoking a minimum of 10 cigarettes a day. Exclusion criteria were: a diagnosis of severe mental disorder (bipolar disorder and/or psychotic disorder); concurrent dependence on other substances (cannabis, cocaine and/or heroin); having participated in the same or similar treatment over the previous year; having received another type of effective smoking cessation treatment (nicotine replacement therapy, bupropion, varenicline) in the past year; suffering from a physical pathology with a high life risk which would require immediate individual intervention (e.g., recent myocardial infarction); smoking a type of tobacco other than cigarettes (e.g., cigars); refusing to be video-recorded during the sessions; and failing to attend the first treatment session.
From an initial sample of 332 smokers, 42 were excluded for having fulfilled one of the exclusion criteria and two because their MCMI-III score was invalid (validity scale score = 3). Therefore the final sample was made up of 288 smokers (41% men, 59% women). Their average age was 41.49 years (
All the smokers were assessed with the Smoking Habit Questionnaire (
For the assessment of personality patterns we used the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-III (MCMI-III
For the assessment of nicotine dependence we used the Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND
We used the Micro+ Smokerlyzer® (Bedfont Scientific Ltd, Sittingbourne, England) to measure carbon monoxide (CO) in expired air, so as to corroborate self-reported abstinence at the end of the treatment and at 12-month follow-up.
Initial assessment of the smokers was carried out in a single session in which all the smokers gave their informed consent for participation in the study. The study was authorized by the Bioethics Committee of the University of Santiago de Compostela.
The cognitive-behavioral treatment applied was the Smoking Cessation Program (
After the treatment there was face-to-face follow-up at 12 months. Self-report of abstinence at the end of the treatment and in the follow-up was tested by measures of carbon monoxide (CO) in expired air, using the Micro+ Smokerlyzer®. The West et al.
In the follow-up, in those cases in which it was not possible to locate the participants, they were considered to be smokers, and at the same level (in terms of number of cigarettes and nicotine content) as in the pretreatment assessment.
Data analysis
First, a descriptive analysis was made of the total sample (N = 288). Next, we analyzed the correlations between personality patterns and measures of nicotine dependence (FTND score and number of cigarettes smoked per day). In order to test differences between abstainers and smokers at the end of the treatment and at the 12-month follow-up or between gender, we used Student's
Participants (N = 288; 41% men, 59% women) smoked a mean of 21.7 cigarettes/day (
When analyzing the scores on MCMI-III personality patterns, we found that women scored significantly higher than men on the Histrionic and Compulsive patterns, whilst men scored higher on the Narcissistic pattern (see Table
Of the 288 smokers in the study, 58% (n = 167) had stopped smoking by the end of the treatment and this proportion of abstainers were confirmed through the carbon monoxide in expired air measure (CO < 10 ppm). At 12 months follow-up, 19.8% (n = 57) of the sample were abstinent.
Relationship between personality patterns and nicotine dependence
We found no relationship between number of cigarettes/day and all the personality patterns. As the results were different according to gender, we decided to perform further analyses for men and women separately.
In a second step, stepwise multiple regression was performed by gender, including the 14 personality patterns. Two personality patterns, Narcissistic (B = −0.04) and Antisocial (B = 0.02), were involved in the model (F = 4.59, p < .05), explaining 5.8% of FTND variance for men. For women, only the Schizoid personality pattern (B = 0.02) was involved in the model (F = 4.68, p < .05), explaining 2.1% of the variance.
Relationship between personality patterns and treatment outcomes in men and women
Men who did not manage to give up smoking by the end of the treatment scored higher in the Depressive, Antisocial, Sadistic (Aggressive), Negativistic, Masochistic, Schizotypal and Borderline patterns, and those who did manage to give up smoking scored higher in the Compulsive pattern. In the women's group we only found differences in the Schizoid pattern, in which those who did not give up smoking by the end of the treatment scored higher (Table
Regarding smoking status at 12 months follow-up we only found significant differences in the men's group: those who were abstinent scored higher in the Compulsive pattern [Mean = 61.23 (
Personality patterns as predictors of smoking cessation and maintenance of abstinence in men and women
We carried out a stepwise logistic regression, taking as predictor variables the scores on the MCMI-III personality patterns, adjusted for levels of nicotine dependence (based on initial FTND scores) separated according to gender. The criterion variable was "abstinence" at the end of the treatment and at the 12-month follow-up (1 = Yes, 0 = No).
At the end of the treatment, in women none of the 14 personality patterns predicted abstinence, and only nicotine dependence (FTND) appears as a predictor variable. In men, the Masochistic personality pattern and FTND were associated with abstinence at the end of the treatment. Men and women with higher nicotine dependence were less likely to give up smoking. In the case of men, we also found that those who score higher in the Masochistic pattern were less likely to achieve abstinence (Table
In continuous abstinence at 12 months follow-up, in both women and men, no personality pattern was involved in the model, and the only significant predictor of continuous abstinence was nicotine dependence (Table
The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of personality patterns assessed with the MCMI-III and nicotine dependence on smoking status (at the end of the treatment and at 12 months follow-up) in a sample of 288 men and women smokers receiving cognitive-behavioral treatment for smoking cessation. The results indicated differences between men and women in the personality patterns analyzed in the present study, and that nicotine dependence plays a relevant role in treatment outcomes.
When assessing the personality patterns of smokers seeking smoking cessation treatment, we found that women score significantly higher in the Histrionic and Compulsive patterns, whilst in men the Narcissistic pattern is the most prevalent. This result is in line with those of other studies, such as that of Berlin et al.
We did find differences regarding to which patterns predict such dependence. In men, nicotine dependence was predicted by a high score in the Antisocial pattern and a low score in the Narcissistic pattern, and in women it was predicted by a high score in the Schizoid personality pattern. Nieva et al.
On the other hand, we did find differences by gender in relation to the patterns most strongly related to smoking abstinence at the end of the treatment. Men with a high score in the Compulsive pattern were likely to stop smoking, but high scores in the Depressive, Antisocial, Sadistic, Negativistic, Masochistic, Schizotypal and Borderline personality patterns were associated with lower percentages of abstinence at the end of the treatment. The Antisocial and Borderline patterns have in common the Impulsiveness trait, which according to Nieva et al.
Long-term outcomes were also different according to personality patterns. In men, a high score in the Compulsive pattern was related to continuous abstinence at 12-months follow-up, while in women no pattern was significant. Previous studies carried out from Millon's personality model
Concerning the regression analysis, nicotine dependence is the determining variable for smoking status in both short and long term, regardless of gender. In men only, the Masochistic pattern partly explains poor outcomes at the end of the treatment. Nicotine dependence is considered the key variable for explaining the results of smoking cessation interventions according to previous studies
However, the results also indicated that certain personality patterns predict nicotine dependence and that there were significant differences according to gender. On the one hand, the Schizoid pattern has been linked to smoking at the end of the treatment in women, and on the other hand, higher scores in this pattern was associated with higher nicotine dependence. The Antisocial personality pattern has been linked to lower percentages of abstinence, and has been a pattern that contributes to explain the variance of FTND in men. Thus, we know that certain personality patterns, which differ according to gender (e.g., Schizoid in women), are related to greater dependence, which in turn predicts poorer results both at the end of the treatment and at the 12-month follow-up.
Some limitations in this study should be noted. First, the sample is not representative of the total population of smokers, since it includes only those who sought smoking cessation treatment, and we know that this type of population has different characteristics from those of smokers from the general population. Therefore, we could expect that the patterns and the differences found by gender could vary in the profile of smokers who stop smoking without following a specific treatment, so that our results could be extrapolated only to similar clinical samples. As Hughes et al.
In summary, as far as we know, this is the first study which examines the relationship between Millon's personality patterns and smoking status in a clinical sample taking into account the influence of gender. Our results show that the personality patterns of men and women who seek treatment to quit smoking are different, and also that there are significant differences between personality patterns and nicotine dependence and their influence on treatment outcomes by gender. However, only nicotine dependence had a significant role in predicting continuous abstinence at the 12-month follow-up. But as Marqueta et al.
