Apart from this, the person finds the substance abuse as an easy way to escape from stress. He feels this might make him feel happy and peaceful and relieve stress. Many a times there are no reasons for substance abuse, it is just curiosity which makes the person to start substance abuse.
Cognitive behavioral therapy helps the patients to come out of the substance abuse and modify their thinking, attitude and behavior. It also increases their life skills to lead a healthy and happy life. The recent research shows that this therapy actually works and helps the substance abused patients to come out of their abuse. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is based on a combination of Behavioral Theory and the Cognitive Theory. The Cognitive theory assumes that most of the psychological problems derive from a wrong thinking process, the therapy focuses on the thoughts, beliefs, attributions and attitudes that influence one’s feelings. The Behavioral theory assumes that substance abuse disorders are developed through the general principles of learning and reinforcement. As per this theory, changes in one’s behavior come through the learning of new behaviors.

At last, it can be concluded that the CBT approach is not only successful but rather superior to that of other approaches to deal substance abuse disorder. The comparative studies also indicated that, in most of the cases, the cognitive behavioral therapy is preferred over other therapies. The skills of this therapy can be used for a long time. This therapy is normally used to treat mental illness like depression, phobia and anxiety disorders.

They resist any kind of change. OCPD persons are normally workaholics but not due to the reason that they like to work. They are constantly worrying that something may go wrong. They can sacrifice their family life, friendships and other relationships at the sake of productivity and output. They spend excessive time and energy in planning an event but are unable to enjoy the actual event. They are more demanding towards their partners. It really becomes difficult to maintain a long-term relationship with these persons. They are so terrified of change that they hardly discard useless objects and things, change the furniture, willing to relocate etc.
Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD) is different from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) as OCPD is a personality disorder while OCD is an anxiety. Person suffering from OCD focuses on particular distressing obsessions like repeated hand-wash etc. but person suffering with OCPD involves a broad approach.
Treatment of this type of personality disorder is possible through:
1. Psychodynamic Therapy- The goal of this therapy is to help the patient in identifying his feelings towards a situation. The therapist tries to remind his patients that they are also prone to error like the others and a mistake is not as bad as they believe.

2. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy- This is another method to treat the OCPD person that has
shown its positive results. In this therapy, the therapist listens to the OCPD patient and tries to change his faulty thoughts into the positive ones.

3. Medication – Medication also helps the patient to think about a situation more clearly and
make decisions better and faster without getting distracted by the minor details.

Therapists use several techniques in the course of their behavioral therapy to help their patients and change their thoughts and behaviors. Some of these techniques include:
• The therapist normally asks the patient to defend their thoughts and beliefs. If the patient fails to produce the objective evidence, their faulty nature is exposed.
• The patient is sometimes asked by the therapist to imagine a difficult situation he has encountered in the past and then try to practice how to cope successfully with.
• In Guided discovery technique, a series of questions are being asked by the therapist from the patient. This is done to discover the cognitive distortions of the patient.
• The patient is being told to maintain a diary of the situations arise in his everyday life and the behavior to those situations that accompany him. The therapist then reviews the diary with the patient and discovers all the maladaptive thoughts so as to correct them
• In positive reinforcement technique, the behavior of patient is routinely motivated by positive things and reward system is set up for them
• Some distress strategies are also given to the patients. The main goal in these techniques is calm and peace. The more the brain is relaxed and quiet, the easier the information can get into it and be processed accordingly. The main focus of this technique is on healing, inner peace and healthiness.
