timorous schizotypal
English
Adjective
timorous schizotypal (not comparable)
- (psychiatry) Exhibiting one of the two subtypes of schizotypal personality disorder as defined by the American psychiatrist Theodore Millon. Includes features of avoidant personality disorder and passive-aggressive personality disorder
Usage notes
- These subtypes are not recognized by the DSM-5 or ICD-10.
- Any individual with schizotypal personality disorder may exhibit either one of the two somewhat different subtypes (Note that Millon believes it is rare for a personality with one pure variant, but rather a mixture of one major variant with one or more secondary variants):
