Introduction

The Dark Triad is a term used to describe a constel-

lation of three socially undesirable personality traits: narcissism,

psychopathy, and Machiavellianism. Contrary to Altruism (the

desire to help others with no personal reward or gain), these traits

are harmful to others. Given the increased scientific interest on the

dark triad, Jonason andWebster developed a shorter questionnaire

to evaluate these three independent-yet-related constructs with

only 12 items – Dirty Dozen (D12).

Objective

To investigate the psychometric properties of the Por-

tuguese version of the Dirty Dozen.

Methods

A community sample composed of 286 university stu-

dents (69.2% females; mean age = 21.09

±

2.133; range: 17–33)

answered the Portuguese preliminary versions of the Dirty Dozen

and of the Altruism dimension from HEXACO-100. To study the

temporal stability, 30 participants (66.7% females) answered the

D12 again after six weeks.

Results

The EACronbach alphawas “very good” (a = 0.72). Follow-

ing Kaiser and Cattel Scree Plot criteria, three meaningful factors

were extracted which explained variance (EV) was of 54.64%: F1

Machiavellianism (EV 32.07%; a = 0.73), F2 Narcissism (13.665%;

a = 0.74), F3 Psychopathy (8.90%; a = 0.64). The test-retest correla-

tion coefficients were high, positive and significant for the total D12

and its dimensions (

r

> 0.70;

P

< 0.001). Pearson correlations of D12

total and dimensional scores and Altruismwere negative, moderate

and significant (

r

@

0.30).

Conclusions

The Portuguese version of Dirty Dozen has good reli-

ability and validity. It could be very useful both in clinical and

research contexts, namely in an ongoing project on the relationship

between dark triad and perfectionism traits.

Introduction

The narcissistic perversion is a psychoanalytical

term resulting from the association of 2 Freudian notions: per-

version and narcissism. The concept of narcissistic pervert has

no clinical validity. The companions of the narcissistic perverts

undergo moral suffering, often unknown by their entourage.

Objectives

We suggest studying the trajectory of life of two wives

of narcissistic perverts.

Aims

Emphasize the peculiarities of the narcissistic perverse per-

sonality.

Methods

We are going to postpone 2 clinical cases of spouses of

narcissistic perverts.

Results

Case 1: Mrs. A., 60-year-old, divorced once. Mother of a

girl. Shemet her current husband during themarriage of her daugh-

ter. At the beginning of their common life, Mr. M. was loving and

in the small care with his wife. After three months of the mar-

riage, Mrs. A. reported the change of character of her husband who

became aggressive, decreasing her and taking her away from her

family. He seized all her goods. She is actually getting a divorce.

Case 2: Mrs. R., 27-year-old, married Mr. C. after 9 months of

knowledge. At the beginning of their marriage, they had a good

agreement. Forced to stay at home to take care only of domestic

spots, she reported a real-life experience of neglect and emotional

carelessness, she felt belittled and isolated. At present engaged in a

divorce procedure after been physically assaulted threatened with

death.

Both women consulted for depression.

Conclusion

The narcissistic perversion is a personality prob-

lem which affects as well the person involved but especially his

entourage. When you are in connection with a narcissistic pervert,

even after leaving him, you never recover from it.

Introduction

The core features of Borderline Personality Disorder

(BPD), such as deliberate self-harm, suicide attempts and demand-

ingness in interpersonal relationships persist with age, even though

impulsivity decreases. Impairing progressive disease combined

with affective instability and chronic feelings of emptiness can lead

to a desire for death.

Objectives

To present a case of BPDwith severe chronic endocrine

pathology and liver cirrhosis who refused to take his treatment as

prescribed.

Methods

A case report is presented and discussed.

Results

We report the case of a 61-year-old man with BPD and

liver cirrhosis, complex endocrine pathology (pituitary adenoma,

diabetes insipidus and primary hypothyroidism), type 2 diabetes

mellitus with insulin therapy, essential hypertension and alcohol

use disorder. He had a history of 5 suicide attempts caused by

marked feelings of rejection and emptiness and a pattern of unsta-

ble relationships and lack of commitment, thus his marriage lasted

only 2 years. He idealized and was extremely familiar with his clin-

ician and displayedmarked affective instability (dysphoria, periods

of anger and despair, affective ambivalence towards his parents and

recurrent depressive symptoms). Because of his liver disease, the

psychotropic medication was ceased by his physician. The patient

refused to follow the rest of his treatment plan and diet as pre-

scribed, resulting in the deterioration of his somatic status. The

patient denied an active suicidal ideation, but did not explain his

non-compliance.

Conclusion

The impairment from BPD and the risk of suicide per-

sist even in older age affecting the outcome of co-morbid somatic

conditions.
