OCD differs from obsessive-compulsive personality
disorder, which is associated with an obsessive
concern for details, perfectionism, and other similar
personality traits.

symptomatology because of secondary gains. For
example, a male patient, whose mother stays home

care of children. An understanding of the stressors
may assist the clinician in an overall treatment plan
that reduces the stressful events themselves or their
meaning to the patient.
