> For ocd vs ocpd-i think the difference is related to OCD anxiety being more in the pre-conscious, where OCPD is conflict mostly more unconscious...where the difference lies in defense mechanisms used. Like your husband, i can always tell when i get 'ocd anxiety'...which stops when the conflict comes to my conscious.
I've never really understood analytic concepts.
All I know is that OCPD is more an attempt to control one's environment to control anxiety. While OCD is intrusive thoughts and urges.
