With Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder, Rules Are a Priority

In movies and TV shows, obsessive compulsive disorder, or OCD, is often presented with humorous undertones. From Jack Nicholson’s OCD novelist in “As Good as It Gets” to the OCD detective in TV’s “Monk,” obsessive compulsive disorder has certainly gained a fair amount of attention in the spotlight. A lesser known but separate disorder is obsessive compulsive personality disorder. Not to be confused with OCD symptoms, obsessive compulsive personality disorder is characterized by a rigid preoccupation with rules and perfectionism.

People with obsessive compulsive personality disorder are often workaholics and high achievers. It is not unusual for a person with obsessive compulsive personality disorder to be fanatical about orderliness, control, and rules. Other symptoms of obsessive compulsive personality disorder include:

  • Preoccupation with lists, details, orderliness, and control
  • Inflexibility
  • Extreme loyalty to work (not related to a financial need)
  • Difficulty in delegating work or allowing others to do things
  • Reserved in expressing affection
  • Lack of generosity
  • Cannot dispose of items, even if the item is worthless
  • Reliable, dependable, and methodical
  • Stern and stubborn
  • Difficulty adapting to change
  • Trouble completing tasks due to intolerance of mistakes
  • Slow, cautious decision making skills

One main way that obsessive compulsive personality disorder is different from anxiety disorders like obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is that a person with obsessive compulsive personality disorder is not engrossed with repetitive, ritualistic behavior. As you might presume, obsessive compulsive personality disorder comes with its share of positive and negative life outcomes. People with obsessive compulsive personality disorder generally achieve a lot in their careers, especially careers demanding attention to detail such as computer programming, the sciences, editing, and so on. On the other hand, people with obsessive compulsive personality disorder are often self-critical, incapable of enjoying their successes, and uncomfortable in relationships. These symptoms of obsessive compulsive personality disorder can be alleviated with therapy and education about how to develop coping skills and healthier ways of thinking.
