I have small cousin who is suffering from Avoidant Personality disorder. We were not aware of this until one day he refused to go to play with his friend
 . Every child is fond of playing and he was opposite. This continued and one day he asked his parents to delist his name from school because he doesn't like to mix up with his classmate . After consulting many people we atlast came to know about this ADP. Since i am internet savy i searched many websites and came across many websites.There are some ways given to treat this disorder. But it is not explained fully.Any of you can help me out or can give me brief method to treat this order. Help is appreciable and thanks in advance.

[quote=Ratanddragon;1538919]Avoidants and Schizotypals were split off of Schizoids for the DSM III in the early 80's, so there was confusion about that group of symptoms then. quote]
I have been diagnosed with apd. and I have no reason to doubt the dx. But there never has been any sign or question of schizoid behavoirs in any dx or test over the decades. Even in the 60s 70s or 80s. I am a bit confused why the two would have been linked in the DSM III |

Not trying to hijack the thread here, but maybe I wasn't so clear in what I wrote, Sunsetsunrise. Before DSMIII, there was only a diagnosis of Schizoid in the DSM. Afterwords, it had been split into Schizoid, Avoidant, and Scizotypal disorders. Check out Masterson and Klein for a different take on Schizoids. They go beyond the outward appearance of flattened affect and simply not caring for much of anything. Their view suggests a bit of overlap. My interest in the subject is my personal difficulty with social interaction. I can go out, but, depending on how well I'm feeling on that day, I usually begin to feel that my space is becoming too crowded and have to leave the room. Lately, it happens more often than not.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
