Main description:

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.
