Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD) is a mental disorder that is characterized by a pervasive pattern of preoccupation with orderliness, perfectionism, and mental and interpersonal control. The symptoms associated with OCPD often occur at the expense of flexibility, openness, and efficiency, thus leading to significant impairment in work and social functioning. This entry will briefly introduce the history of OCPD as a diagnosis, review empirical evaluations of OCPD, and will conclude by highlighting recent debates surrounding the diagnosis as well as treatment considerations.
