Could someone please recommend a concise way to explain the differences between avoidant personality disorder and social phobia? Obviously, social phobia is on Axis 1 and AvPD on Axis 2, so AvPD would have a pervasive pattern, but I am looking for a succinct answer to explain this to someone else (aka board examiner). I got asked this today in a mock exam.
I remember I had a nice spiel at one time, but that was long ago....
