-Similarities and differences between Schizoid PD and other disorders likely to be confused with it- from Treatment of Schizoid Personality -An Analytic Handbook (2013) Page 62

"Following the DSM-III (APA, 1980), mental disorders began to be clumped and conceptualized together by the type of presenting symptoms (i.e. mood disorders, anxiety disorders), rather than by the mechanisms conceptualized to be causing those symptoms. Given the use of categorical diagnostic approaches currently in use, and the increasing focus on treatment planning for symptomatic relief, understanding symptom formation in schizoid personality becomes essential to avoid misdiagnosis at intake. This section briefly examines some of the most common DSM Axis I disorders most likely to be confused with an underlying schizoid disorder."

This visual aid lists many alternative phrases for "Calm Down."   Often times when we say calm down to an escalated child, it makes them more upset because they do not know how to calm down.  Because obviously if they knew how to calm down on their own they would! And then they would not need you to tell them to calm down.

These alternatives provide practical actions children can take to help clam and regulate themselves as well as affirming statements that can help children label and understand their own emotions.
