About This Course

Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD) is a chronic maladaptive pattern of excessive perfectionism, preoccupation with orderliness/detail, and need for control over one's environment. Despite its prevalence, many clinicians are not aware of how to treat OCPD. Dr. Pinto will review the core features of OCPD, the different ways that it can present, how the condition impacts functioning, and how it can be differentiated from OCD.  Then, he will focus on cognitive behavioral interventions for the maladaptive traits and behaviors of OCPD.  Finally, Dr. Pinto will discuss the challenges of working with these patients and offer ways of overcoming treatment obstacles. 

This is a live, interactive webinar event that will take place on September 12, 2025 at 10am EST.  

Learning Objectives

At the completion of the course, participants will be able to:

  • Describe the core features of OCPD and how the condition impacts functioning.


  • Identify two presentation style types of OCPD.


  • Identify specific CBT interventions for OCPD.
