To free themselves from the captivity of unconscious parental complexes and gain a coherent sense of identity, people with an obsessive-compulsive character structure try to behave in such a way that there is nothing to reproach them with. They secretly resent adaptation, but they still have to resort to it to avoid accusations. In order to cope with undeveloped and agitated feelings, they minimize the experience and meaning of affect. As a result, feelings are hushed up and replaced by rationalization.
Since obsessive-compulsive individuals have an active mind and undeveloped emotional sphere, they need specifics: "Only facts!" Such concretization prevents the open manifestation of spontaneity and desires and, as a result, creative activity. The obsessive-compulsive character structure blocks access to the imaginal resources of the unconscious and does not give the ability to form the ability to enter into sensual and close relationships with other people.
The inner striving for impeccability and intolerance of free time, dirt and money enable such people to achieve some success in a world where competition rules, but internal conflict is invariably heated. It usually manifests itself in the form of moral superiority or harsh self-criticism.
The formed rigid structure of character blocks the source that fills life with meaning. As a result, the restrained libido feeds the "mindless" obsessions and compulsions through which the unconscious manifests itself.
High moral ideals, often championed by the obsessive-compulsive individual, compensate for sensual poverty and eliminate anxiety. Guided in life by well-established moral norms, such people constantly criticize others for being too windy, spoiled and incompetent.
The sensual sphere, which allows you to paint your personal life with bright colors, is rejected by an obsessive-compulsive person and is at the mercy of gross affects and images that have tremendous power, therefore, defenses are forced to block access to the unconscious so that consciousness can function within the framework of social expectations.
A person cannot let go of creative imagination and remember dreams. Images and fantasies that do manage to break through cause anxiety, and in order to get rid of it, the content of the unconscious is viewed as bad, useless and meaningless. It is not surprising that, due to inner dryness and a feeling of emptiness, such people are attracted to hysterics, which are distinguished by the richness of affects and theatricality. In Greek mythology, the great God of Reason - Apollo - stands on Mount Olympus in archetypal solitude. Like Apollo, a person with an obsessive structure organizes his life, but it can be alienated and empty.

Promiscuity In The Structure Of Personality Disorders
The term is used to describe the promiscuous sexual relations of an individual. Promiscuity is found among both men and women of all sexual orientations.

SCHIZOID STRUCTURE OF CHARACTER
Harry Guntrip describes the schizoid pattern as an "entry-exit program": a person is present in a relationship, then suddenly disappears from them. “The chronic dilemma of the schizoid individual, who cannot be neither in a relationship with another person, nor outside of such a relationship, without the risk of losing his object or himself in one way or another, is due to the fact that he has not yet got rid of a special type of dependence on objects of love,
