Time Warp On Science On Health On Defense ... Artcam In Transition Personality Disorders, Part 2 by Dr. Peter Melgaard Thompson In the world of psychiatry we deal with psychopathology or when the feelings and behavior to life's stresses are hurtful to the patient. Psychiatrist use descriptions that are helpful in describing and treating these individuals. That's where the categories of personality disorder clusters A, B and C come in. I have described the general characteristics of these groups and now will look at them more specifically. For each personality disorder I have also included how these people with the disorder may react to my examples in the first paragraph. The first cluster (A) is the group that is called odd or eccentric. The sub-groups are the paranoid, schizoid and schizotypal personality disorders. Paranoid personality disorder: These individuals are overly concerned with issues of suspiciousness. They believe that other people's motives are sinister. They have recurrent suspiciousness without justification, often regarding the fidelity of a spouse, or government conspiracies. In general they feel others are exploiting and harming them. To use my examples above these persons may feel that the snow is the result of a government experiment or that the boss has singled them out for harassment. Schizoid personality disorder: In this group of individuals there is a consistent pattern of detachment from social relations. These are the loners and they enjoy being alone. Their response to my examples would be to start a fire and not to ever be in a situation where they work with anyone.

102. Oppressed Group: Schizoid A Personality Not A Disorder Expresses the author s view that the schizoid personality is not a disorder but rather a style and that mental health professionals use the term disorder http://www.pipeline.com/~dada3zen/schizoid_a_personality_not_a_disorder.htm

The paper below was written by my ex. I've noticed that it has taken on a "life of it's own", so I finally felt that I should let the readers in on the context in which it was originally intended: it was a paper for a class at graduate school (of which was subsequently rejected, I thought it would be good to find at least some use for it via my site, The Introverts Hideaway ). The assignment was to write about an "oppressed group". Allison wished not to use the usual suspects (racial, sexual orientation, etc) and she decided to use a novel idea that had been bouncing around in my head: the opposition of the term "disorder" for a personality type. That many of these personality types are not disorders, but in fact actual base personalities. Yes, of course, the semantical response is one of "But, Schizoid does effect ones life to the point of it being rightfully considered a disorder, as opposed to a base personality type." To which it does only in the sense of it's oppression via societal lifestyle norms and/or expectations of which are based upon extreme extroversion. So, an extreme introvert is , essentially, oppressed by their base personality. Thus invites the term "disorder". However, I still argue the validity of "disorder" being attached to certain personalities as Schizoid.

Everyone has characteristic patterns of perceiving and relating to other people and events (personality traits). Put another way, people tend to cope with stresses in an individual but repetitive style. For example, some people respond to a troubling situation by seeking someone else's help, whereas others prefer to deal with problems on their own. Some people minimize problems; others exaggerate them. Regardless of their usual style, however, mentally healthy people are likely to try an alternative approach if their first response is ineffective.
