"Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD) is characterized by a pervasive and maladaptive pattern of excessive perfectionism, preoccupation with orderliness and details, and need for control over one's environment. It is the most common personality disorder and is associated with significant morbidity and increased health costs. Unfortunately, clinicians often do not diagnose OCPD or may incorrectly diagnose it as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Although progress has been made in understanding OCPD, many treatment providers do not know how best to address it clinically. This book examines treatment options along with developmental, psychological, and behavioral etiologies and the deeper neurobiological underpinnings of the disorder"--

These traits must have a negative impact on the personal and social aspects of an individual's life to be classified as a personality disorder. Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD) is one such disorder. OCPD is generally defined as a preoccupation with the strict compliance of rigid guidelines and rules of behavior. It affects about 1 in every 100 people and is diagnosed twice as often in males as compared to females. OCPD usually becomes noticeable in early adulthood but it may be developed starting in early childhood to late adolescence. OCPD is commonly confused with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) due to the similarities in both names and symptoms. However, there are critical differences between OCPD and OCD that distinguishes the former from the latter. For example, an OCD patient is usually aware that the symptoms of their disorder are irrational, whereas those with OCPD often do not. In fact, while an OCD patient often feels a sense of guilt for the difficulties their disorder places on their loved ones and acquaintances, the OCPD patient often sees no problem with their behavior. Rather, OCPD patients believe that other people must conform to their ideas and practices as they do things the 'correct' way.

Obsessive personality disorder affects many people around the world and it is difficult to get rid of it This journal adapted from behavioral therapy is designed to eliminate all symptoms of obsessive personality disorder in adults to restore a healthy and balanced personality.

Examines the anxiety disorder known as OCD, its symptoms and manifestations, how it can be controlled and treated, and, through case studies, what it is like to live with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

This unprecedented work is an invaluable resource for therapists treating patients with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD), for individuals suffering from OCPD, and for friends, family, and coworkers of those with OCPD. Although a significant number of individuals suffer from obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD), most of these people see themselves as being perfectly normal. In actuality, they are missing out in life due to their being compulsively prompt, counterproductively perfectionistic, and excessively penurious. This book explains what OCPD is, making it clear how it differs significantly from OCD; explains the thought processes and desires that give rise to the counterproductive defense mechanisms of OCPD; and identifies the approaches and methods that can allow such afflicted individuals to break through their character armoring and become rehumanized. In this book, Martin Kantor, MD, presents information to defuse the many manifested symptoms of OCPD: anxiety, indecision, unreasonable perfectionism, and difficulty in compromising. His explanations and methods will give the hopeless succor, move the stalled forward, and foster interpersonal cooperation and flexibility in the stubborn, while simultaneously enhancing the OCPD individual's social performance thus increasing his or her chances for interpersonal, relational, and occupational success. Kantor also identifies the social manifestations of OCPD and describes how to move idiosyncratic, rigid bureaucracies toward accomplishing what should be their most important mission: helping those who are in need and seeking comfort.

Gary Trosclair explores the power of the driven personality and the positive outcomes those with obsessive compulsive personality disorder can achieve through a mindful program of harnessing the skills that can work, and altering those that serve no one. If you were born with a compulsive personality you may become rigid, controlling, and self-righteous. But you also may become productive, energetic, and conscientious. Same disposition, but very different ways of expressing it. What determines the difference? Some of the most successful and happy people in the world are compelled by powerful inner urges that are almost impossible to resist. They’re compulsive. They’re driven. But some people with a driven personality feel compelled by shame or insecurity to use their compulsive energy to prove their worth, and they lose control of the wheel of their own life. They become inflexible and critical perfectionists who need to wield control, and they lose the point of everything they do in the process. A healthy compulsive is one whose energy and talents for achievement are used consciously in the service of passion, love and purpose. An unhealthy compulsive is one whose energy and talents for achievement have been hijacked by fear and its henchman, anger. Both are driven: one by meaning, the other by dread. The Healthy Compulsive: Healing Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder and Taking the Wheel of the Driven Personality, will serve as the ultimate user’s guide for those with a driven personality, including those who have slid into obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD). Unlike OCD, which results in specific symptoms such as repetitive hand-washing and intrusive thoughts, OCPD permeates the entire personality and dramatically affects relationships. It also requires a different approach to healing. Both scientifically informed and practical, The Healthy Compulsive describes how compulsives get off track and outlines a four-step program to help them consciously cultivate the talents and passions that are the truly compelling sources of the driven personality. Drawing from his 25 years of clinical experience as a psychotherapist and Jungian psychoanalyst, and his own personal experience as someone with a driven personality, Trosclair offers understanding, inspiring stories of change, and hope to compulsives and their partners about how to move to the healthy end of the compulsive spectrum.

With THE ULTIMATE OCPD LOG BOOK, You can follow your behaviors if you suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder and diagnose them and thus search for exits from the effects of this mental illness. I have given you a space in this journal to express your victories in difficult OCD situations.

A PERSONAL MESSAGE to one who suspects she or he has, or is suspected by others of having, OCPD: Dear Reader and new-found Friend, Congratulations!By your willingness and open-mindedness to explore, reflect upon, and consider the validity of the vital message of this book, and its possible direct application to you, you have demonstrated personal courage of a very high order. In all likelihood, you were told of (if not already given) this book by a loved one or dear friend who has your best interests at heart, and desires above all else that you lead a rich, rewarding, joyful, and fulfilling life. But, to do so it is imperative that you acquire accurate, state-of-the-art, scientific (psychologically-sound) knowledge of the condition they feel justified in believing you have. To that end, this book presents a proven program for psychological wellness directed to those individuals who suffer from this mental disability called Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder, or simply OCPD. To be bold and wholly truthful, it must be stated, without apology: it is a serious mental illness that wreaks havoc and creates ongoing misery in the lives of those people on the 'receiving end' of the OCPD person's dysfunctional speech and behaviors. It, also, causes untold harm and damage to the OCPD person, himself (or, herself, as the case may be). That is why this book was written. To help awaken the OCPD person to the destructiveness of their behaviors to others, but PRIMARILY TO THEMSELVES, and to facilitate the emergence of 'Insight', without which no OCPD person will ever recover. Though you may strongly feel this disorder has nothing to do with you, do yourself the favor of obtaining and studying this book if only to increase your fund of knowledge, and to know with certainty that you are, indeed, well. I counsel you not to let fear of what disquieting truths you might find about yourself deter you, or false pride, dissuade you. You may find persuasive reasons, herein, that cause you to suspect you just might have OCPD, after all. And with that knowledge will come the Power to deliver you from bondage to yourself. This compendium is a wholly unique, first-of-its-kind, self-help educational volume, workbook, program of instruction, and personal 'coach' all rolled into one. There is no book like it on the market, anywhere, today. This volume's treatment approach is that of a multi-disciplinary one, within a framework of Immersion Therapy coupled with the relatively new, highly promising, field of study known as Positive Psychology. Numerous and varied disciplines from every field of knowledge, past and present, have been drawn upon by the author to uncover the best tools and techniques, methods and strategies, known to date, that pertain to the unique challenges posed by this highly proliferating disorder. Those disciplines are: psychological and psychiatric (cognitive behavioral), medical, human potential movement, science of personal development, meditative practices, universal religious insight, poetic wisdom sources, and holistic, among others. As it will take the marshaling of all of these 'forces for good' to overcome the deeply entrenched maladaptive patterns and habits of belief, thought, and behavior that make up the mindset of the OCPD person. But, with their combined wisdom from these various sources, it is the author's sincere and earnest belief, that countless OCPD persons will find speedy relief, comfort, reassurance, deliverance, and healing, as will those persons, who by necessity or by choice, interact with them on a recurring basis. May this self-help book, truly a pioneer of its kind, lead the way for OCPD people to become empowered to 'take back their lives', abandon their self-created misery, and enable them to live in harmony and peace with themselves, and their fellow woman and man, as never before, from this point onward – into an ever-beckoning, better today, and brighter tomorrow.With Every Good Wish, The Author
