I fit all the DSM qualifying criteria to a tee. I have read books by Millon (x5), Benjamin (x2), Young (x2), Linehan, Kantor, Beck et al on personality disorders, as well as various other less informed and less directed authors. I met with 25 psychochologists/psychiatrists inside and outside hospitals, and had hundreds of counselling sessions - all on this topic. In addition, I have analysed and obsessed over this topic for many years in an effort to get relief from the chronic and severe dysfunction I have.This book touts itself as "The Ultimate Guide". This is utterly untrue. It is, at best, "A First Introduction" - I personally gained nothing from it. The book is 68 pages of large print, double spaced on small pages. It can be read and fully absorbed in well under an hour. It has just 2 references - both come from a single website. The contents of the book itself are representative of this dearth of research. It consists of generalities again and again. For example at one stage it says something like "your therapy may be once or twice a week, or more or less than this". This statement is near meaningless - it covers all possibilities! Unfortunately the book itself is like this throughout - covering all possibilities, not ruling anything in or out, and not making any insight. Where it does make a good suggestion, this is happened on by chance in a list of possibilities. There is no indication the author knows the "good" from the "bad".The book was cheap - it cost me something like $12. Although it has no insights, I can see it as having merit for someone who is completely unfamiliar with personality disorders and clinical psychology. It reviews the diagnostic criteria (albeit symptoms, not underlying causes), and presents various options for treatment that have been touted that the beginner can then read more about from more informed sources.For me, "The Ultimate Guide" remains Lorna Smith Benjamin, whose books provided enormous insight into my personality disorder (and effective treatement) far beyond any other source I have encountered (either in print or in person). Her books, however, are not aimed for the lay reader. To appreciate them fully a lot of groundwork needs to be done in terms of learning about all the 14 officially-recognised personality disorders in terms of the personality modes that we use everyday. I don't know of a good single source for this. However I can say Martin Kantor's earlier book, although flawed and disordered, has many excellent concrete examples of AvPD. So, for those wishing to absorb about how AvPD looks like in real life, this is one place to try next. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to understand! *by K***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2019* I bought this book because my son has APD and it was recommended by our therapist. I have found the information as presented to be easy to quickly digest and useful. My son and I have struggled with his APD behavior for years, neither of us fully understanding his challenges. Through therapy and education like this book we have made a lot of progress. I wish I had bought it sooner. It goes beyond summaries I've read on the internet, not only describing what APD is, but also typical treatments and pros and cons. This is more of an APD 101 type of book, a good place to start, but also a good book to have around for reference. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book is a good introduction to Avoidant Personality Disorder *by K***S on Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2018* This book is a good introduction to Avoidant Personality Disorder. The cover says it is the "Ultimate Guide". It is not an "Ultimate Guide". It is an introduction to the topic. It is a very short, easy to read, simple, walk through what the problem is, what causes it and how to overcome it. This is the first book I have read on the subject and I found it helpful. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/117431606-avoidant-personality-disorder-the-ultimate-guide-to-symptoms-treatment-prevention](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/117431606-avoidant-personality-disorder-the-ultimate-guide-to-symptoms-treatment-prevention) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
