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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45239641047191,"sku":"9780367104276","price":11452.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780367104276.webp?v=1769223163","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/obsessions-the-twisted-cruelty-9780367104276","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
