Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and Uncertainty: Struggling with a Shadow of a Doubt

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and Uncertainty: Struggling with a Shadow of a Doubt examines the structural and intrapsychic features of the self as it presents within OCD compulsive doubting, and more broadly within OCD compulsion. Specifically, it is situated within the theoretical framework of psychodynamic theory and object-relations theory and aims to elucidate central object-relational paradigms within OCD doubting. Moshe Marcus and Stephen Tuber suggest a broader framework through which to consider the interplay between both the cognitive as well as affective components required to make judgments.
