title: [From the myth of narcissus to personality disorders in aragonese prisons: an introductory profile of personality disorders amongst people deprived of their liberty].
abstract: Personality Disorders are important pathologies in the prison context and awareness of their existence is necessary for several reasons: the high prevelance of PDs amongst inmates, their high level of comorbidity with other mental and addictive disorders, and for the link between PD and impulsive behaviour and possible violence. A study was carried out in prisons in the province of Zaragoza (Spain). The sample consisted of 236 inmates, 25% of whom were women. The abbreviated "International Personality Disorder Examination" (IPDE) questionnaire proved to be a useful defining tool for this pathology.
