Description

This book explores the interrelatedness between obsessive compulsive disorders, thinking disorders, and depression.

The issue is considered both from a psychiatric viewpoint and from a psychodynamic perspective.

The age of the cases presented in the book ranges from childhood through adolescence to adulthood.

Obsessions: The Twisted Cruelty is a challenging contribution to contemporary clinical debate, especially regarding the role of analytically-oriented psychotherapy in the treatment of OCD, and how to deal with the psychiatric treatment and combine the two approaches, while keeping the focus on the transference-countertransference interplay.

After the first theoretical chapter, the relationship between obsessions and thinking impairments is discussed, with specific reference to delusional ideation.

A section entitled "the anal conundrum" follows. Encopresis and anal masturbation during childhood are discussed, as well as the identification of the child with a maternal "faecal object.

The last section explores the connection with depression, and some specific features of sadism.
