This is a document with profiles of various types of sex offenders. I have some with the title "Avoidant Active" and "Avoidant Passive". Absoultely none of my dictionaries contain this word. If it's any help, the others are titled "Approach Automatic" & Approach Explicit". Thanks for any help or suggestions !

Personnalité évitante active / passive
In the context you described, I would translate Personnalité évitante active / passive which is the proper terminology that refers to a psychological / behavioural disorder.
Example sentence:
Research shows that at least 50% of the offenders participating in the study displayed classic symptoms of avoidant personality disorder.
