    Citation Excerpt :

    We did not detect a significant association between extroversion, neuroticism and adherence. One secondary care study described an association between lower rates of narcissistic–histrionic personality disorders and better adherence (Tedlow et al., 2002; Tedlow et al., 1996). In general, personality pathology is thought of as behaviour patterns with limited adaptive capability (American Psychiatric Association, 2000).

  • Anxiety sensitivity: A unique predictor of dropout among inner-city heroin and crack/cocaine users in residential substance use treatment

    2008, Behaviour Research and Therapy
    Citation Excerpt :

    To the extent that individuals with high AS do not have adequate psychological resources to successfully cope with such aversive events, they may be more likely to prematurely terminate substance use treatment. This research is supported by a study suggesting that AS, relative to other predictors, may have utility in identifying patients who drop out of antidepressant trials, perhaps because of a heightened sensitivity to the side effects from these medications (Tedlow et al., 1996). Likewise, data suggest that heightened AS is a risk factor for early lapse during smoking cessation (Brown et al., 2001), and the degree of change in AS has been a significant predictor of relapse among those discontinuing use of benzodiazepines (Bruce, Spiegel, Gregg, & Nuzzarello, 1995).
