Using the Abramowitz et al (2015) and Veale et al (2009) articles, as well as the posted power point, respond to the following: ( These have been attached below)
Assignemnt:
1.
Explain the symptoms of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. What is an
obsession? What is a compulsion? How do they differ, and how are they

Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder.
3.
The Veale article connects obsessions and compulsions to some
paraphilic or sexually offending behavior. What connection does the
Veale article make?
