The major thrust of this book is to help therapists, patients, and others who interact not only with those who have a personality disorder like OCPD but also for those living in an interpersonal world—for example, dealing with a disgruntled neighbor. Throughout this text, including the cases, there are examples of how the specific communication styles of the Language of Empathology and the Language of Dialectics have applicability to the obsessive-compulsive, in order to meet and match their repetitive behaviors and paranoid anxiety regarding cleanliness and perfection.
