The role of the TCI-R (Temperament Character Inventory) in individualized treatment plannning in a population of addicted professionals.
This article discusses a multi-faceted treatment paradigm used to service professionals with addictive disorders. Individualized treatment plans are developed based on a multitude of factors including administration of the TCI-R (Temperament Character Inventory), MCMI-III (Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory) and the WASI (Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence). Treatment goals include specific therapeutic interventions and patient and therapist-directed tasks related to enhanced development of the character dimensions of Self-Directedness, Cooperativeness and Self-Transcendence, as measured on Cloninger's TCI-R inventory.
