Question

Felix has been a worrier all of his life. When he was a child, he believed and followed the expression "step on a crack, break your mother's back." He is now a perfectionist and runs his daily routine based on an inflexible schedule. His environment is arranged very predictably; for example, all of his shirts must be neatly pressed and hung exactly four inches apart in his closet. His pursuit of perfection has become self-defeating rather than constructive. Felix would be diagnosed as having _____ personality disorder.

Answer 1

Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder
