Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder

Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD) is a personality disorder characterized by a pervasive pattern of preoccupation with orderliness, perfectionism, and control, often at the expense of flexibility and efficiency.

OCPD significantly impacts an individual’s quality of life, relationships, and ability to adapt to change. While their meticulous and hardworking nature may lead to success in certain areas, it often comes at the cost of flexibility and interpersonal harmony. Treatment, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), can help individuals with OCPD recognize and modify their rigid thinking patterns and behaviors. Learning to balance their need for order with flexibility can lead to improved relationships and overall well-being. Understanding and compassion from friends, family, and colleagues play a critical role in supporting individuals with OCPD.

In this webinar you will learn (Learning Objectives):

  • The 4 areas of life affected by OCPD
  • Preoccupation with details & order
  • Perfectionism interfering with task completion
  • Miserliness (excessive desire to save money)
