Hello:
I have just finished reading David Adam's book called, --- The man who could not stop. He gave an account of his own problems with OCD.
It became obvious that fear was the root cause of this problem but the --- "almost impenetrable maze of defense mechanisms" --- makes the solution to these problems seem like more than I can handle at this time.
However, one thing seems perfectly clear. Those who suffer from this problem are not facing reality. They want a guarantee that their continued existence will be totally and completely safe. There is no such guarantee for any of us. Overcoming this delusion seems to be an important step on the way to recovery.
That sounds more sensible than the mumbo-jumbo that you will get from many of the methods that are currently in vogue for this problem by the psychological community at large.
