Abstract
The purpose of the study was to investigate whether gender differences occur in personality traits or interpersonal functioning among substance abuse therapists in the same way as they do on population level. The subjects (N = 162) were therapists in Finnish inpatient treatment institutions.

Women were also better than men in interpersonal functioning; they scored higher on all dimensions of it, namely, empathy, genuineness, respect for client, and concreteness.
