Introduction: Narratives of OCD
View through CrossRef
This chapter provides an overview of the clinical presentation and characteristics of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), with an emphasis on the striking heterogeneity of the condition. Three cases that illustrate this heterogeneity are described in detail. These cases are used to frame a discussion of core clinical features and treatment principles, all of which are presented in more detail in later chapters in this volume. This introductory chapter provides a clinical frame for the more detailed treatments of various aspects of OCD phenomenology, pathophysiology, and treatment that follow.
