Schizoid personality disorder From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Schizoid personality disorder (SPD) is a personality disorder characterised by a detachment from social interactions and a tendency towards a solitary lifestyle. Specifically, SPD is characterised by at least three of the following: Emotional coldness, detachment or reduced affectivity. Limited capacity to express either positive or negative emotions towards others. Consistent preference for solitary activities. Very few (if any) close friends or relationships , and a lack of desire for such. Indifference to either praise or criticism Taking pleasure in few, if any, activities. Indifference to social norms and conventions. Preoccupation with fantasy and introspection. Lack of desire for sexual experiences with another person. This description is provided by the ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases). SPD is relatively rare compared with other personality disorders , being estimated at less than 1% of the general population. It is believed by some to correlate with the INTJ and INTP personality types in the Myers-Briggs type indicator. SPD is far more common amongst males than females, although this could be due in part to the fact that schizoid symptoms are far less socially acceptable in women.

Sure hope you will check back if what you were looking for wasn't available. Web Site Dedication This web site is dedicated to the liver of life, the seeker of more, and to all of you who, like I, were wounded, have incurred many heart-wrenching losses, endured much pain and still search for a better, happier and more peaceful way. It is there for the finding. It must first be found from deep within yourself. Each one of us will identify a different, individual "happier" or more "peaceful". To look for something that we might think others have or "everyone else" has is to fool ourselves into suffering needlessly based upon cognitively distorted and unworthy comparisons. All you have to do, is follow your path on your journey in your life. For your way, is the right way for you. True to the reality of this web site, "Build it and they will come."

home about downloads support ... forums Schizoid Personality Disorder TREATMENT Table of Contents Psychotherapy Medications Self-Help Psychotherapy While there are many suggested treatment approaches one could make for this disorder, none of them are likely to be easily effective. As with all personality disorders, the treatment of choice is individual psychotherapy. However, people with this disorder are unlikely to seek treatment unless they are under increased stress or pressure in their life. Treatment will usually be short-term in nature to help the individual solve the immediate crisis or problem. The patient will then likely terminate therapy. Goals of treatment most often are solution-focused using brief therapy approaches. The development of rapport and a trusting therapeutic relationship will likely be a slow, gradual process that may not ever fully develop as in seeing people with other disorders. Because people who suffer from this disorder often maintain a social distance with people in their lives, even those close to them, the clinician should work to help ensure the client's security in the therapeutic relationship. Acknowledging the client's boundaries are important and the therapist should not look to confront the client on these types of issues. Long-term psychotherapy should be avoided because of its poor treatment outcomes and the financial hardships inherent in length therapy. Instead, psychotherapy should focus on simple treatment goals to alleviate current pressing concerns or stressors within the individual's life. Cognitive-restructuring exercises may be appropriate for certain types of clear, irrational thoughts which are negatively influencing the patient's behaviors. The therapeutic framework should be clearly defined at the onset. Stability and support are the keys to good treatment with someone who suffers from schizoid personality disorder. The therapist must be careful not to "smother" the client and be able to tolerate some possible "acting-out" behaviors.

How you can help About Trauma Dissociative Disorders available from Sidran in packages of 50 for a small fee. Recently considered rare and mysterious psychiatric curiosities, Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) (previously known as Multiple Personality Disorder-MPD) and other Dissociative Disorders are now understood to be fairly common effects of severe trauma in early childhood, most typically extreme, repeated physical, sexual, and/or emotional abuse. In Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-IV (American Psychiatric Association, 1994), Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD) was changed to Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), reflecting changes in professional understanding of the disorder resulting from significant empirical research. Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), widely accepted as a major mental illness affecting 8% of the general population in the United States, is closely related to Dissociative Disorders. In fact, 80-100% of people diagnosed with a Dissociative Disorder also have a secondary diagnosis of PTSD. The personal and societal cost of trauma disorders is extremely high. Recent research suggests the risk of suicide attempts among people with trauma disorders may be even higher than among people who have major depression. In addition, there is evidence that people with trauma disorders have higher rates of alcoholism, chronic medical illnesses, and abusiveness in succeeding generations. WHAT IS DISSOCIATION?

Open Site The Open Encyclopedia Project home submit content become an editor the entire directory only in Personality/Antisocial Top Health Mental Health Disorders ... Personality : Antisocial Antisocial Personality Disorder and Psychopathy People suffering from the Antisocial Personality Disorder were formerly called "psychopaths" or, more colloquially, "sociopaths". Some scholars, such as David Hare, still distinguish psychopathy from mere antisocial behavior. Psychopathy becomes evident in early adolescence and, though it is considered chronic, it often remits with age, usually by the fourth or fifth decade of life. Criminal behavior abates by that time as do substance abuse and other antisocial patterns of conduct. This - and the fact that personality disorders are common among members of the psychopath's immediate family - indicates that the Antisocial Personality Disorder may have a genetic or hereditary determinant. Characteristics and Traits Psychopaths regard other people as mere objects to be manipulated - as instruments, tools, or sources of benefits and utility. They have no problem grasping ideas - but find it difficult to perceive other people's ability to conceive of ideas, to have their own needs, emotions, and preferences. The psychopath rejects other people's rights and his commensurate obligations. The "social contract" and conventional morality do not apply to him. His immediate gratification takes precedence over the needs, preferences, and emotions of even his nearest and dearest.

Personality : Obsessive-Compulsive Characteristics and Traits Obsessives-compulsive are concerned with mental (self) and interpersonal (others) control and its symbolic representations. They are perfectionists and rigidly orderly or organized. According to the DSM, such people lack flexibility, openness and efficiency. An Obsessive-Compulsive is easy to identify. He or she are preoccupied with lists, rules, rituals, organization, perfection, details, and order to the point of paralysis. They are unable to see the wood for the trees and are constantly worried that something is or may go wrong. Actually, they place greater value on compiling and following rigid schedules and checklists than on the activity itself or its goals. OCDs are workaholics. They sacrifice family life, leisure, and friendships on the altar of productivity and output. Yet, they are not very efficient or productive. Some OCDs are self-righteous to the point of bigotry. They are so excessively conscientious and scrupulous and so unempathically and inflexibly tyrannical that it is difficult to maintain a long-term relationship with them. They regard their impossibly high moral, work, and ethical standards as universal and binding. Hence their inability to delegate tasks to others, unless they can micromanage the situation and control it minutely to fit their expectations. Consequently, they trust no one and are difficult to deal with and stubborn.
