Schizoid Personality Disorder
Journal of Personality Disorders, 2012Co-Authors: Joseph Triebwasser, Eran Chemerinski, Panos Roussos, Larry J SieverAbstract: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.

Schizoid Personality Disorder a review of current status and implications for dsm iv
Journal of Personality Disorders, 1993Co-Authors: Oren Kalus, David P Bernstein, Larry J SieverAbstract:Schizoid Personality Disorder (SZD) is one of three Diagnostic and Statisti cal Manual of Mental Disorders, 3rd edition, revised (DSM-III-R) "odd cluster" Personality Disorders (including schizotypal Personality Disorder [SPD] and paranoid Personality Disorder [PPD]) characterized by phenomenological similarities to schizophrenia. SZD is distinguished from the other two Personality Disorders by the prominence of social, interpersonal, and affective deficits (i.e., "negative symptoms") in the absence of psychoticlike cognitive/perceptual distortions. Despite a rich and extensive clinical and theoretical tradition regarding the Schizoid character, its pre-DSM-III status was handicapped by consider able heterogeneity and lack of clear operationalized criteria for the Disorder. The architects ofDSM-III attempted to subdivide and sharpen the boundar ies of this heterogeneous area by the addition of SPD and PPD within the odd cluster, and the avoidant Personality Disorder (AVD) within the "anx ious" cluster. The narrowing of the SZD diagnosis by reassignment into these additional diagnoses, however, raises additional questions on the location of its diagnostic boundaries, and even whether the diagnosis re mains a valid and separate entity. Evidence of extensive criteria overlap and comorbidity with other Personality Disorders are of particular concern in this regard. The low prevalence rates of DSM-III SZD further complicate attempts at addressing these issues empirically. Although modifications of the diagnostic criteria in DSM-III-R appear to have increased the sensitivity and prevalence of the diagnosis, the scarcity of empirical data on either DSM-III or DSM-III-R SZD remains a significantly limiting factor in resolv

effects of aesthetic chills on a cardiac signature of emotionality
PLOS ONE, 2015Co-Authors: Maria Sumpf, Sebastian Jentschke, Stefan KoelschAbstract:Background Previous studies have shown that a cardiac signature of emotionality (referred to as EK, which can be computed from the standard 12 lead electrocardiogram, ECG), predicts inter-individual differences in the tendency to experience and express positive emotion. Here, we investigated whether EK values can be transiently modulated during stimulation with participant-selected music pieces and film scenes that elicit strongly positive emotion. Methodology/Principal Findings The phenomenon of aesthetic chills, as indicated by measurable piloerection on the forearm, was used to accurately locate moments of peak emotional responses during stimulation. From 58 healthy participants, continuous EK values, heart rate, and respiratory frequency were recorded during stimulation with film scenes and music pieces, and were related to the aesthetic chills. EK values, as well as heart rate, increased significantly during moments of peak positive emotion accompanied by piloerection. Conclusions/Significance These results are the first to provide evidence for an influence of momentary psychological state on a cardiac signature of emotional Personality (as reflected in EK values). The possibility to modulate ECG amplitude signatures via stimulation with emotionally significant music pieces and film scenes opens up new perspectives for the use of emotional peak experiences in the therapy of Disorders characterized by flattened emotionality, such as depression or Schizoid Personality Disorder.
