Year: 2006
Type: article
Abstract: Analysis of the relationship between cocaine consumption and psychopathological characteristics is a relevant topic at the present time. Cocaine use and the demand for treatment arising from problems associated with cocaine use have increased in the last few years. Certain psychopathological characteristics can interfere with the development of treatment related to cocaine abuse or dependence. The objective of this paper was to review the most relevant research, published at a national and international level, which analysed the relationship between cocaine use and psychopathological characteristics. A review of 41 selected studies leads us to conclude that cocaine use (abuse or dependence), as analysed in the studies, is associated in a large number of cases with several disorders such as alcohol dependence, personality disorders (especially borderline, paranoid, antisocial, histrionic, narcissist and passive-aggressive disorders), depression and anxiety are among the most important. Finally, we expose several limitations in the studies carried out and provide the principal lines that should be followed in the future in this type of studies.
