________________________________________________________
These titles generally describe behaviour, motivations, and possible causes for schizoidism, with the exception of 'Disorders of the Self' - by Masterson and Klein, a very enlightening book regarding "what do I do now", i.e. it's the only book which properly covers the psychotherapeutic needs and dynamics for schizoid persons, although some aspects of therapy can also be found in the volumes 'Schizoid phenomena', 'Split-self/split-object', 'The Empty Core', and 'Privacy of the Self'.
An all-round useful book is Split-Self/Split-Object by Philip Manfeild. This book covers more general information than other books, including PD's other than schizoid, and is reasonably easy to read (though with some psychoanalytic jargon). For an insightful and less jargon-filled read you might like to try Karen Horney's 'Neurosis and Human Growth'.
Happy reading.
