They spend time alone and select activities that do not include interaction with others. The ICD-10 (1994, p. 225) describes the schizoid personality disorder as "e;characterized by withdrawal from affectional, social and other contacts, with a preference for fantasy, solitary activities and introspection. There is a limited capacity to express feelings and to experience pleasures."e; Millon & Davis (1996, p. 217) describe the SPD as the "e;asocial"e; pattern characterized by a deficiency in the ability to experience pleasure. Kalus (1995, p. 58) believes that the schizoid personality disorder is distinguished by the predominance of negative symptoms associated with the schizophrenia spectrum disorders, i.e., social, interpersonal, and affective deficits without psychotic-like cognitive/perceptual distortions.

Self Image: SPDs view themselves as loners who prize independence, solitude, and mobility (Beck). In treatment, SPDs describe feeling that life is passing them by; they feel like they are observing life at a distance (Siever). View of Others: SPDs fear engulfment and preserve a sense of safety by maintaining distance from others. Abandonment is a lesser evil than engulfment (McWilliams). SPDs view others as intrusive (Beck). Relationships: The hallmark of SPD is social isolation (Siever). SPDs are not responsive to the feelings of others; their social detachment is preferred and comfortable (Millon). Authority Issues: SPDs will avoid contact with authority; they are indifferent to either praise or criticism (DSM IV™, 1994). Behavior: SPDs appear colorless, shy, and indifferent to others (Millon); they seem quiet, serious, and eccentric (Siever). Others view SPDs as dull, uninteresting, and humorless; they are often ignored (Beck).

Any combination of the following may suggest the condition; Isolated socially Chooses solitary activities No interest in sex with other person Finds nothing pleasurables Lacks intimate friendships or relationships Displays no reaction to criticism or praise Appears cold, detached, unemotional and withdrawn A supportive and non-invasive group can help a person who suffers from schizoid personality disorder overcome fears of closeness and feelings of isolation. Individual therapy has not been terribly effective and is generally directed at short-term solution to the immediate problem rather than long-term elimination. Attempts are made to develop a reinforcement for social contacts and relationship in a non-threatening milieu. Cognitive restructuring may be useful in dealing with clearly illogical thoughts that are posing a risk to functioning and coping. The objective is to stabilize the situation and support the client. While it helpful to keep the individual in therapy, the individual may vacillate between showing a world of fantasy and close relationships and total fear of dependency.

Return to Home Page Generic Criteria for Personality Disorders A lasting pattern of behavior and inner experience that markedly deviates from norms of the patient's culture. The pattern is manifested in at least 2 of these areas: -Affect (appropriateness, intensity, lability and range of emotions) -Cognition (how the patient perceives and interprets self, others and events) -Impulse control -Interpersonal functioning This pattern is fixed and affects many personal and social situations. These symptoms cause clinically important distress or impair work, social or personal functioning. This stable pattern has lasted a long time, with roots in adolescence or young adulthood. The symptoms aren't better explained by another mental disorder. They aren't directly caused by a general medical condition or substance use, including medications and drugs of abuse.

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.

19. Schizoid Personality Disorder - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia Gives the diagnostic criteria for SPD and differentiates SPD from similar disorders http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizoid_personality_disorder

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.
