Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder
Story:
Jasmine has come to therapy at the request of her supervisor, who recognized a compulsive need to review and revise every detail of every project, to the point that she has consistently missed deadlines and upset clients. Jasmine's explanation is that she doesn?t see it that way. What good would her work product be if it isn?t absolutely, rigorously completed and cross-checked in every possible way? She finds it exhausting, and because of her devotion to work, she does not have many friends or social life. She explains that her one real friend, Gwen, actually makes her feel ill by how she wastes money. Jasmine does not understand why others are not as frugal or detail-oriented as she is, and she is concerned she will continue to pay the price for it. By observing and making notes of Jasmine's expressions, mannerisms, and speech, viewers can decipher clues to decide what her diagnosis may be.
