Schizoid Personality Disorder (ScPD)
Treatment of Schizoid Personality Disorder
Social skills training The Treatment of schizoid personality disorder are the same as those for all personality disorders. No controlled studies have been published about psychotherapies or pharmacotherapy for schizoid personality disorder. Generally, efforts to share interest in impersonal topics (eg, possessions, collections, hobbies) that appeal to people who prefer solitary pursuits can help establish a relationship with a patient and perhaps facilitate a therapeutic interaction. Cognitive-behavioral approaches that focus on acquiring social skills may also help patients change. Because patients with schizoid personality disorder lack interest in other people, they may not be motivated to change.
