Short-term structured treatment for avoidant personality disorder.

Alden, Lynn·1989·Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology

Abstract

Forty-two men and 34 women (mean age 27.5 years) who met DSM-III criteria for avoidant personality disorder were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 treatment conditions or to a waiting-list control group. Treatment Ss who participated in a 10-week group treatment program displayed significantly greater improvement on a variety of self-report and behavioral measures than did untreated control subjects. The inclusion of skills-training procedures did not contribute to the effects of graduated exposure procedures alone. The gains made during treatment were maintained over the follow-up period, but few further improvements were made. Clinical significance was evaluated by both the subjective evaluation method and the social comparison method. These procedures indicated that although significant improvements had been made, these avoidant Ss were not functioning at the level of normative comparison samples at treatment termination.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
