Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Individuals with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder do not have obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors, unlike those with obsessive-compulsive disorder. OCPD is a personality disorder characterized by a pervasive pattern of preoccupation with orderliness, perfectionism, and control rather than the obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors seen in OCD. Additionally, individuals with OCPD may have a limited capacity for flexibility, openness, and spontaneity. They may be very rigid in their thinking and behavior, resistant to change, and have difficulty adapting to new situations. They may also have a tendency to be critical of themselves and others. In contrast, individuals with OCD experience intrusive, unwanted, and distressing thoughts, images, or urges (obsessions) that they attempt to neutralize or alleviate through repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions).
