History: cognitive

"David Shapiro (1965) remarked people with OCPD tend to focus thinking intensely on a particular subject in the manner of people with brain damage. They have great powers of attention to prevent their concentration wandering. This facilitates working on technical tasks or in occupations where concentration is necessary. However, the downside to this is hard to take a global view of a social situation, unable to take in the sweep with ease, but keep on focusing on one aspect of a situation, forcing themselves to fight off distractions.

Shapiro also noted people are driven by a sense of autonomy that turns them into their own project managers with this disorder. They are preoccupied with what they should do, and act on it. Lastly, their fear of making mistakes lead to the impact of losing the sense of reality.^[1]^{[dead link]}"

^Removed this until someone can find references. (The link is dead and not reliable anyway). Also unclear on how this relates to the history of the disorder.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Fluous (talk • contribs) 19:59, 14 March 2013‎
