Abstract
In thetransition from themodern to thepostmodern age, there has been a changein the Obsessive-Compulsive - Prone Style of
Personality, style that can lead to OCD.
In this paper we analyze, through literature and cinematographic art, some typical aspects of this style of personality and how
they changed over time: the impersonality of the set of references on the basis of which to fix the variability of one’s experience by
providing it with definite and certain meaning, the issue of one’s responsibility related to a failure in anticipation and a new aspect,
called “logical complacency” by the current scientific literature, in which the need of the set of references is contemporary with the
relationship with the others which embodies and personifies that reference system.
Keywords
