Lyd wrote:Frances, et.al (1995, p. 378) describe individuals with OCPD as:
* perfectionistic, constricted, and excessively disciplined;
* behaviorally rigid, formal, cool, distant, intellectualized, and detailed;
* aggressive, competitive, and impatient;
* driven with a chronic sense of time pressure and an inability to relax;
* controlling of themselves, others, and situations;
* indirect in their expression of anger although an apparent undercurrent of hostility is often present;
* often inclined to hoard money and other possessions;
* preoccupied with orderliness, neatness, and cleanliness; and
* inflexible and stubborn in relationships.
I think it largely describes the European nations during the Age of Imperialism (1888-1914).
