People with Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD) often clash with non-conformists due to rigid rule systems, a need for control, moral absolutism, cognitive inflexibility, and projected self-criticism. This could make spontaneous or alternative approaches feel threatening and wrong.

Learning Outcomes 

  • Explain the Core Characteristics of OCPD and Their Impact on Interpersonal Dynamics.
  • Identify Key Sources of Conflict Between OCPD Individuals and Non-Conformists.
  • Differentiate OCPD from OCD in Terms of Cognitive and Behavioural Patterns.
