What is OCPD? How is it different from OCD?

Obsessive compulsive personality disorder involves an extensive preoccupation with control, organization and perfectionism. OCPD does not have a specific cause.it. People with OCPD can seem to have ridgid beliefs and feel the need to be in control of themselves, others and situations. They may also be overly conscientious of morality, ethics and values. OCPD and OCD are different in that OCd can develop later on in life from contributing factors and events, whereas OCPD is a personality disorder that people are born with.

How do I Know if I Have OCPD?

Since OCD and OCPD are similar, it can be difficult to tell if you have OCPD. A therapist can take a close look at your thoughts and emotions, to help determine if you are dealing with OCPD. Signs and symptoms of OCPD include:

  • Preoccupation with details, rules and lists
  • Not being able to get rid of things, even if they hold no sentimental value
  • Lack of flexibility
  • Not willing to show affection
  • Not wanting to allow others to do things
  • Over devotion to work
  • Lack of generosity
  • Being rigid and stubborn

How We Can Help with OCPD

Our therapists have many different tools to help with OCPD. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a structured, goal oriented therapy used to help make a customized therapeutic plan to reach the goals you make with your therapist. Psychodynamic therapy is another great resource, as it focuses on the unconscious processes as they manifest and present in behavior, allowing your therapist to understand your behaviors and emotions on a deeper level. This makes them able to better support you in coping with OCPD.
