Obsessive-compulsive disorder is currently the subject of
considerable research, because recent epidemiological studies have
suggested that the condition is more prevalent than was originally
believed. This book offers a critical discussion of the most
important theories that have been put forward to explain this
disorder. The book includes behavioral/learning accounts (and
cognitive-behavioral supplements of these), accounts based on
Pavlovian personality theories (such as those by Eysenck, Gray, and
Claridge), Pierre Janet's account, cybernetic approaches,
psychodynamic approaches, Reed's cognitive-structural account, and
biological approaches. Therapeutic approaches to the disorder are
also considered insofar as they are relevant to these theories. An
analysis of the concept of OCD is also presented, together with a
critique of the existing definitions of the disorder. This book is
unique in both the comprehensiveness and the depth of its coverage
of theories of OCD. It also offers an entirely new approach to the
definition of the disorder.
