In Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and Uncertainty: Struggling with a Shadow of a Doubt, Moshe Marcus and Steven Tuber examine the structural and intrapsychic features of the self as presented within OCD compulsive doubting, and more broadly, within OCD compulsions. Marcus and Tuber further elucidate central object-relational paradigms within OCD doubting and suggest a broader framework that can be used to consider the interplay between both the cognitive as well as the affective components required to make judgments.
Don’t be fooled by the modesty of the title—this volume covers a vast scope, starting from philosophical ideas about doubt and certainty, moving through object relations theory and psycholinguistics, and arriving at very specific and well-grounded recommendations for the psychodynamic therapy of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. Along the way, Moshe Marcus and Steven Tuber describe a psychoanalytically informed view of OCD which offers an empathic and nuanced understanding of how and why people suffer from this crippling disorder.
