Do people who have Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder have to be watched very closely as they may exhibit signs of being abusers?

Not really. We all have a trace of OCD, and we do it without thinking. One may take the same route to work over and over even though it could be the longer way there, but, it's a habit. I am the type of person that unless I have checked to be sure all windows and doors are locked (thank heavens I live in a small home) I can't go to sleep. So, what's the big deal? Not one darn thing! Abusers are abusers and OCD really has nothing to do with it unless the person was an abuser in the first place. Although OCD people can get on other's nerves at times, something about that other person can get on their nerves too. None of us are perfect. Happy New Year Marcy

Are all mental abusers Narcissistic and what is the difference?
Not all mental abusers are. A narcissist is someone who suffers from a specific personality disorder called "Narcissistic Personality Disorder." This disorder is relatively rare. Not all abusers suffer from the Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) - although many of them have narcissistic traits.
Are all abusers narcissistic or are all narcissists abusers?
Not all abusers are narcissists, but all narcissists are abusive. Thats right. Some abusers are BPD. Some are sociopaths. But all abusers have a personality disorder. All are selfish (to a dangerous degree). All lack empathy (when it gets in the way of their selfish desires..and there are innumerous desires, they are never satisfied).
If someone is an abuser and wants to stop what steps should he take?
The first - crucial - steps are to acknowledge that he is abuser and seek help. Abusers are usually in denial: If the abuser is also a narcissist (suffers from the Narcissistic Personality Disorder - NPD), this may be of some assistance:
Why do a lot of answers to abuse questions contain an explanation of stalkers and borderline personality disorder rather than an actual answer to the question?
Because it is hard to separate possibly dangerous behaviors from the abusive personality. I think there are several theories as to why abusers act as they do and there are many labels out there for the cause. As in any discipline, there are theories and real life answers and so you see both in the answers. Many abusers can stalk their victim if she has decided to leave the relationship and it happens more often than one can imagine. Abusers are about psychological mess-ups. They are controllers, and either mental or physical abusers. If you would like to learn more about it please go onto: www.google.com and type in: What is the cycle of abuse? Hope it helps.

Psychodynamic explanation to multiple personality disorder?
This condition is now called DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder). Too many people were thinking of it as one of the Axis Two personality disorders. DID is an Axis One condition. DID is caused by violent and prolonged trauma in early childhood, usually including rape, incestuous or otherwise. People who are able to dissociate create alternate selves to take the abuse and trauma. Over time, these selves develop personality patterns (and sometimes personality disorders!) of their own. It is possible to integrate these parts together with therapy, but it requires an excellent therapist who is able to deal with hearing descriptions of horrible abuse. Many are not able to do this. The abuse experienced by DID survivors is far outside the usual, and some people aren't strong enough to let themselves admit such abuse of children can even happen in America. But it can; the evidence is overwhelming and incontrovertible. The insensitivity shown to these people is often appalling -- and widespread -- at mental health clinics all over the country. Many people with DID pick up ten or a dozen incorrect diagnoses -- including of ASPD (antisocial personality disorder) -- before finally being correctly diagnosed, and it's true that repeatedly being bitterly accused of inventing the abuse is another form of abuse on top of and compounding the original. More people need to be educated about the devastation caused by pedophiles and other child abusers so as to prevent this affliction and others like it. All people with DID also have PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder).
