Abstract

|
|
Objectives: The symptomatic and behavioral correlates of childhood trauma in schizophrenia are beginning to emerge in the literature. This study aimed to investigate whether the association between personality traits and schizophrenia with childhood abuse can be replicated in Koreans using the Multiphasic Minnesota Personality Inventory (MMPI).
Methods: Eighteen schizophrenias with childhood abuse and 24 schizophrenic comparisons without abuse history were recruited at the inpatient units of two general hospitals and the subjects completed the MMPI.
Results: Subjects with schizophrenia plus childhood history of abuse had less educational years (p<.001). After controlling the educational year as a covariate, abused schizophrenic patients had higher scores in the Schizotypal (p=.003), Dependent (p=.014), Passive-aggressive (p=.034), Borderline (p=.045) subscales. For the validity and clinical subscales, significant differences were found in the F scale (p=.036), Hypochondriasis (p=.042), Depression (p<.001), Hysteria (p=.002), Personality disorder (p=.001), Paranoia (p=.024), Psychasthenia (p=.001) and Schizophrenia (p=.006) subscales.
Conclusion: Our findings suggest that childhood abuse in schizophrenia is associated with more complex features of personality characteristics rather than specific cluster B personality traits.
