affectless schizoid

affectless schizoid (not comparable)

1. (psychiatry) Exhibiting one of the four subtypes of schizoid personality disorder as defined by the American psychiatrist Theodore Millon. Includes features of obsessive–compulsive personality disorder

• Passionless, unresponsive, unaffectionate, chilly, uncaring, unstirred, spiritless, lackluster, unexcitable, unperturbed, cold; all emotions diminished. Combines the preference for rigid schedule (obsessive-compulsive feature) with the coldness of the schizoid.

• These subtypes are not recognized by the DSM-5 or ICD-11.
• Any individual with schizoid personality disorder may exhibit either none or one of the different subtypes (Millon believes pure personality variants to be rare; instead, personalities typically manifest as a blend of a primary type with a secondary subtype)

• languid schizoid
• remote schizoid
• depersonalized schizoid
