Only a small number of those with OCD have the collection of personality traits called Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD). Despite its similar name, OCPD does not involve obsessions and compulsions, but rather is a personality pattern that involves a preoccupation with rules, schedules, and lists; perfectionism; an excessive devotion to work; rigidity; and inflexibility. However, when people have both OCPD and OCD, the successful treatment of the OCD often causes a favorable change in the person's personality.
This guide was prepared with the help of the Obsessive-Compulsive Foundation and includes recommendations contained in the Expert Consensus Treatment Guidelines For Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.
The following participants in the Expert Consensus Survey were identified from several sources: participants in a recent NIMH consensus conference on OCD; participants in the International Obsessive Compulsive Disorders Conference (IOCDC); members of the Obsessive-Compulsive Foundation Scientific Advisory Board; and other published clinical researchers. Of the 79 experts to whom we sent the obsessive-compulsive disorder survey, 69 (87%) replied. The recommendations in the guidelines reflect the aggregate opinions of the experts and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of each individual on each question.
