This paper examined demographic and personality characteristics of violence-free completers (n = 74) and violence repeating completers (n = 32) of a spouse abuse abatement counseling program. Chi-square analyses on categorical data, and analyses of variance on personality test data revealed several predicted findings. Compared to violence-free completers, recidivists reported higher levels of substance abuse both before and after treatment. Recidivists also showed evidence of higher narcissism, measured by the Narcissistic, Gregarious and Aggressive subscales of the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory. Referral source (self or court) did not differentiate the two groups, nor did record of criminal activity. Subsequent discriminant function analysis, entering all predicted variables, correctly identified 65.4% of the recidivists and 73.1% of violence-free completers. Clinical and research implications of the findings are discussed.
本文研究了配偶虐待消除咨询项目中无暴力行为的完成者（n = 74）和重复暴力行为的完成者（n = 32）的人口统计学和人格特征。对分类数据进行的卡方分析以及对人格测试数据进行的方差分析揭示了几个预测结果。与无暴力行为的完成者相比，累犯在治疗前后报告的药物滥用水平更高。通过米隆临床多轴问卷的自恋、群居和攻击性分量表测量，累犯还表现出更高的自恋迹象。转介来源（自我或法庭）以及犯罪活动记录并未区分这两组。随后进行的判别函数分析纳入了所有预测变量，正确识别出65.4%的累犯和73.1%的无暴力行为的完成者。文中讨论了这些研究结果的临床和研究意义。
