Researchers at NYSPI/Columbia University are seeking adults (> 18 years old) to complete an online survey about beliefs and behaviors related to personality styles. Participation is anonymous and typically takes up to 60 minutes. The information gathered will contribute to a better understanding of the nature of personality-related problems, leading to improved assessment methods and treatment interventions. Participation is limited to once per person. For more information please click on this link or the one below:

Our intention is to help people to find their way in this emerging field. People who suffer the personality disorder are almost always perfectionist, but the converse is not necessarily the case. OCPD in particular causes a great deal of suffering and unhappiness, so those have the disorder and people around them need all the help they can get.

About us: we are a team of psychologists, counsellors and mental health professionals, working hand in hand with volunteers who have also had years of experience in the mental health field. Members of the team have also had long involvement in running family therapy and practising as marital therapists, as well as into research.
