Journal Article
Schizoid Personality Disorder
2012
Overview
Schizoid personality disorder (ScPD) is one of the \"odd cluster\" or \"cluster A\" personality disorders in DSM-IV. In the present article, the authors review information pertaining to the psychometric characteristics of ScPD as gleaned from a search of relevant publications as well as from databases of personality disorder study groups. Comparatively little evidence exists for the validity and reliability of ScPD as a separate, multifaceted personality disorder. Some authors, moreover, have contended that the group of patients termed \"schizoid\" actually fall into two distinct groups--an \"affect constricted\" group, who might better be subsumed within schizotypal personality disorder, and a \"seclusive\" group, who might better be subsumed within avoidant personality disorder. The research-based justification for retaining ScPD as an independent diagnosis is sufficiently sparse for it to seem reasonable to remove ScPD from the list of personality disorders in DSM-V, and instead to invite clinicians to code for schizoid traits using a dimensional model.
