Abstract

âº This is the first study to test OCPD as a predictor of EX/RP outcome for OCD. âº Both OCPD diagnosis and greater OCPD severity predicted worse EX/RP outcome. âº Perfectionism is the OCPD criterion most strongly associated with poor EX/RP outcome. âº Incorporating treatments that target OCPD traits into EX/RP may improve OCD outcome.
