Understanding Schizotypal Personality (StPD): An Interview
Hello all! I was thrilled to be able to interview Kai on schizotypal personality (StPD) and discuss several traits and experiences related to StPD. We go through several different traits such as hyperreflexivity, paranoia, reality checking, unusual perceptions, and more and also discuss traits that may be less frequently discussed or that are outside the typical DSM criteria for schizotypal personality (e.g. avolition). We also discuss the positives and challenges of life with schizotypal personality as well as what makes Kai an individual amongst people who are schizotypal.
Kai also has a Youtube channel (the Schizotypal Project)! Here’s the link for it: https://www.youtube.com/@SchizotypalProject/videos
0:00-1:50: Earliest signs of schizotypal personality
1:51 - 4:07: Hyperreflexivity
4:08-5:14: Paranoia
5:15-5:50: Reality checking
5:50 - 7:32: Saviour complex/delusions of grandiosity
7:33 - 9:43: Connected thinking
9:44 - 11:26: Disordered speech and unconventional/eccentric dressing
11:27 - 13:11: Atypical affect and ideas of reference
13:12 - 14:51: Hearing voices/unusual perceptions
14:52 - 16:39: Special topics (things outside the typical DSM traits)
16:40 - 17:45: Attempts to find self-understanding prior to diagnosis
17:46 - 19:08: Experience with friends or classmates growing up
19:09 - 20:19: How were you diagnosed with schizotypal personality?
