Scrupulosity dates back millennia and is widely reported in Catholic and Protestant traditions over the last half-century. This chapter looks more generally at obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). OCD is characterized by obsessions and compulsions. Obsessions are recurrent and persistent, intrusive and unwanted, unjustified, and anxiety-evoking. Also, OCD needs to be distinguished from a different condition with a similar name: obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD). Whereas OCD is an anxiety disorder, OCPD is a personality disorder, that is, a disorder in those stable traits that make up one’s personality. The chapter addresses difficulties in determining whether obsessions are beliefs: normal tests of beliefs fail in the case of OCD and Scrupulosity. It next considers compulsions, repetitive behaviors performed in response to obsessions that aim to prevent or reduce anxiety or distress.

This chapter reviews the literature on personality pathology in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It begins by comparing and contrasting OCD with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD). These two conditions have a longstanding yet frequently misunderstood relationship. Though they share some overlapping features, recent research has established OCD and OCPD as distinct conditions. Even so, OCD and OCPD frequently cooccur. The chapter reviews the literature on comorbidity and the impact of OCPD on the clinical course and treatment of OCD, including evidence that OCPD may complicate OCD treatment. It also describes other personality disorders observed in OCD. Finally, it describes recent advances in the conceptualization of personality disorders, including dimensional approaches, and concludes with directions for future research.
