The Relationship

In this chapter, the evolution of the avoidant personality disorder (AVPD) diagnosis, its current status, and future possibilities are reviewed. AVPD is a chronic and enduring condition involving a poor sense of self and anxiety in social situations, and it is marked by fears of rejection and a distant interpersonal stance. AVPD may be conceptualized at the severe end of a continuum of social anxiety. In the extreme, traits, mechanisms, and symptoms become integral to chronic dysfunction in personality and interpersonal style. While AVPD is a valid diagnostic construct, the optimal organization of AVPD criteria for the diagnosis, and the relationship of avoidant personality traits to anxiety, remain to be determined.

The Relationship

Inmates with serious mental illness (SMI) or antisocial personality disorder (APD) average higher rates of disciplinary infractions than inmates without these conditions. This study builds upon these lines of research by examining the relationships among SMI and various types of prison misconduct, and whether these relationships are moderated by the presence of APD. SMI was observed significantly related to annual rates of both violent and serious nonviolent misconduct. APD moderated the relationship between SMI and serious nonviolent charges but not the relationship between SMI and violent charges. Implications for inmate management and classification practices aimed at ameliorating misconduct are discussed.
