  • Psychology
  • Psychiatry
  • Psychoanalysis

Background:

  • Schizoid personality traits are observed in 10.7% of patients across two outpatient institutions.
  • Understanding diagnostic influences in psychoanalysis is crucial for accurate patient assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an accurate diagnostic model for schizoid personality traits.
  • To investigate the influence of patient-therapist dynamics and therapist countertransference on diagnosis.

Main Methods:

  • Depth-psychological examination of 604 patients by 12 experienced psychoanalysts.
  • Stepwise regression analysis incorporating patient data, therapist data, and investigator countertransference.
