What is the difference between Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder?

OCD should not be confused with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder even though the two disorders have similar names.

It is possible, however, for a person to have both disorders.
