The Four Subtypes of AvPD What Causes Avoidant Personality Disorder? The 9 Most Common Symptoms of AvPD Seven Common Therapy Methods for AvPD How to Choose the Right Therapy Approach How to Overcome AvPD: 7 Steps How to Find Your Escape Conclusion Topics covered include cognitive skills therapy, psychological therapy, self-isolation, extreme sensitivity to criticisms, and self-deserting behaviors. An excerpt from the book: In reality, the first step in any help for someone with Avoidance Personality Disorder is an intervention of the way they are currently living their life. If the person is unable to see a problem or find help on their own, friends or family should try to intervene. Sometimes people do not often see what is right in front of them, especially when they live a life of seeing things differently from other people. When friends or family begin to see a strong withdrawal, especially when it turns into self-isolation, they need to start taking steps to help their loved one recognize that there is an issue and that help is needed. Unfortunately, those doing what they think are in the best interest of someone they care about can often make things worse. With a patient that has AvPD, taking care not to insult, reject, or humiliate them is important. This means that a well-meaning friend forcing an AvPD friend to attend a movie or go shopping is actually doing more harm than good. The friend does not realize that by forcing someone she cares about to directly face such a large fear at one time can cause the fear to get even more severe. If, instead, the friend slowly introduces a new friend to the AvPD sufferer, and the patient is being introduced in smaller increments, they have a chance to get used to the process of meeting a new person under their current restraints. For the most part, though, intervention should basically focus on helping the person realize that living with AvPD can be tolerable and helping them get professional assistance in overcoming their problems.

A very thin book written by someone who seems to be pre-occupied with on-line escapism - is this the author or someone he knows? Amateurish and not an Ultimate Guide by any means.

A Useful Book
I was originally interested in this topic because of a psychology class I took. I found the book very informative as I read it, and began to realize that some one in my family may very well be suffering from Avoidant Personality Disorder. One of my sisters rarely leaves the house, and there have been several times when we have gotten her outside that she has had a full on panic attack. I read through this book to learn as much about this condition as I could so that I could help her through these problems and help the rest of my family understand what was going on with her. This book has been a life saver for my family and I, and if your in a situation where you know someone who may have this condition I recommend reading it, it can make a difference in your lives as well.

This book is exactly what I want to read and recommend to my son to read because of what his wife (my daughter-in-law) is behaving. In the book it gives a lot of helpful information.

Less than helpful
This book provides very little useful information, even of the description of the symptoms of Avoidant Personality. I have found better information online for free. I'm not sure this author has any qualifications as an authority on the topic; he is a sports writing.

You are not alone - and there are things that can be done.
While I do not personally have Avoidant Personality Disorder, someone very close to me does – and I want to learn more about it; what it really is, how it affects her, how it could affect us, and how to overcome it – if such a thing even possible. Clayton Geoffreys’s “Avoidant Personality Disorder” guide offers vital and invaluable insight into this often misunderstood disorder. Avoidant Personality Disorder, also known as AvPD is more than just one thing, in fact, the title encompasses a range of disorders – and this guide talks about them all. From what they are, what defines them, what causes it and common symptoms. There is information to be had in here for anyone that deals with AvPD or knows someone with it. With easy to understand language and open examples, this guide left me with a feeling of, not only understanding – but of hope. There are things we can do, steps to take - and a new path to travel.
