Abstract

Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD) is one of the most prevalent personality disorders (PDs) in community and outpatient samples. It is characterized by a general pattern of concern with orderliness, perfectionism, excessive attention to details, mental and interpersonal control, and a need for control over one’s environment at the expense of flexibility, openness, and efficiency. This article aimed at reviewing the literature on etiologies, impacts, and treatments of OCPD. Etiologies of OCPD are divided into two aspects, including psychoanalytic factors and biological factors, respectively. The impacts part shows both positive and negative impacts OCPD brings. There are two regular treatments of OCPD, which are medication and psychotherapies. The medication one offers anti-anxiety or anti-depression medication like SSRIs, and the psychotherapies offer methods such as interpersonal therapy and cognitive therapy. This study can display an academic direction for future researchers.
