And then here are links to 4 articles, from Psych Central's archives, on the subject of AvPD:

I hope you find PC to be of benefit.
I think there can be a point if there is an accurate diagnosis. Also it is more than possible to have one or more Axis 1 diagnoses in addition to any ''pd'' diagnosis. If the clinician is adequate there can be definite help and improvement in a ''pd'' if the patient is compliant. Good luck
