“…23 Why this difference between nations in the occurrence of religious Os and Cs? ''[I]f one suffers from OCD and in addition is practicing a religion (read in an orthodox way), the OC symptoms most likely occur in the religious context,'' observes Van Megen et al 24 Similarly, Greenberg and Huppert note that ''if OCD develops in an individual who is very religious, his or her religiosity (how religious the person is) is likely to express itself in the OCD.'' 25 This principle ought to apply to time periods as well as geographically: in more religious past eras there would have been more religious-themed symptoms.…”

The time period from 1840 to 1950 was one of rapid, dramatic change in the experience of suffering from and receiving treatment for obsessional disorder in the United States. Several patient case histories are discussed in detail, including those of a theology professor's acquaintance (1844), a wealthy gentleman (1880), a hosiery shop proprietor (1938), and a former college student (1949). Although the focus here is on the patients' experience, many broader aspects of the history of obsessional disorder are also explored.

The second edition of The Oxford Handbook of Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders focuses on the obsessive-compulsive and related disorders (OCRDs), newly described in the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). The OCRDs include obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), body dysmorphic disorder, hoarding disorder, trichotillomania (hair-pulling disorder), and excoriation (skin-picking) disorder. In the handbook, leading experts review current evidence on the phenomenology, epidemiology, assessment, and treatment of the OCRDs, as well as the presentation of the conditions in special populations. The introductory chapter provides a brief history of OCD, an account of its role in the DSM, and an overview of the chapters to follow.
