166. Schizoid & Schziotypal Personality Disorders
Join the docs this week for an episode that examines the intersection between criminal acts and the diagnosis of Schizoid Personality Disorder. While relatively rare and completely unrelated to schizophrenia, Schizoid Personality Disorder is found to have a great impact than ASPD when in the presence of other diagnoses. Cases discussed include the first California school shooting and the brutal and impulsive murder of a child in Brooklyn. This episode builds on the information provided to the docs on their Behind The Couch Livestream with author N. Leigh Hunt.
