Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder is estimated to affect between two and eight percent of the general population and appears in nearly one quarter of mental health outpatient caseloads. It is also among the most consistently misidentified and inadequately treated personality disorder presentations in clinical practice. The confusion begins with the name: OCPD and OCD share a label that implies shared causation, shared mechanism, and shared treatment. They share none of these. The clinical cost of that confusion is substantial and documented.
What This Handbook Covers
OCPD in Clinical Practice provides a complete clinical framework for identifying, formulating, and treating obsessive-compulsive personality disorder. Coverage spans the full arc of clinical work: structured diagnostic assessment using both DSM-5-TR and ICD-11 criteria, a differential diagnosis framework distinguishing OCPD from OCD, autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, narcissistic personality disorder, avoidant personality disorder, generalised anxiety disorder, and hoarding disorder, a longitudinal case formulation model grounded in schema theory and developmental evidence, and a treatment selection framework spanning CBT, psychodynamic therapy, schema therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Evolutionary Systems Therapy, and Good Psychiatric Management for OCPD. Separate chapters address the engagement challenges unique to ego-syntonic presentations, countertransference in long-term personality disorder work, comorbidity sequencing, and the extension of individual formulation into couples, family, and occupational contexts.
What Sets This Reference Apart
This handbook is written exclusively for mental health practitioners and applies clinical depth throughout. It includes a dedicated chapter on the ICD-11 dimensional framework and the anankastia specifier, which is now the required diagnostic language in the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and many European jurisdictions. Assessment guidance covers the FFOCI, PID-5, DAPP-BQ, MCMI-IV, and SCID-5-PD, with practical guidance on integrating data across sources into a convergent diagnostic profile. Nine reproducible appendices include a longitudinal formulation template, assessment battery guide, differential diagnosis decision flowchart, modality selection matrix, DSM-5-TR and ICD-11 comparison table, countertransference self-audit form, motivational mapping tool, competency self-assessment framework, and an annotated reading list.
This Book Is for Readers Who...
This book is for therapists, psychologists, counsellors, and social workers who encounter perfectionism, rigidity, and interpersonal control difficulties in their caseloads and want a structured, evidence-based assessment and treatment approach. It is for practitioners who have experienced the engagement challenges of ego-syntonic personality disorder and want specific, practical strategies for building therapeutic alliance when the client does not believe anything is wrong. It is for clinicians working across both DSM-5-TR and ICD-11 documentation environments who need a single reference that addresses both frameworks. It is for supervisors, clinical educators, and trainee practitioners who want a clear, integrated framework for teaching and learning personality disorder assessment and treatment.
A Structured Clinical Reference
For mental health practitioners working with complex personality presentations, clear and integrated guidance on OCPD assessment, formulation, and treatment has long been difficult to find in a single professional reference. This handbook is designed to serve that purpose: a structured, evidence-informed clinical resource built for the practitioners who need it most.
