SCHIZOID PERSONALITY DISORDER AND KRETSCHMER’S SCHIZOID PSYCHOPATHY: A COMPARATIVE CLINICAL ANALYSIS AND FEATURES OF BIOLOGICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL THERAPY
Journal Title: Psychiatry, Neurology and Medical Psychology - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The article based on the author’s long-term clinical, therapeutic and psychological observations substantiates the need to return to E. Kretschmer’s classical notions about the statics and dynamics of schizoid personality disorder with the most fundamental point of psycho-esthetic proportions in its structure. The extreme poles of the axis of schizoid personality disorder are presented by sensitive type with asthenic manifestations and expansive type with stenic manifestations. The features of biological and psychological treatment, including therapy by creative activities and hobbies, are examined.
