According to psychodynamic theorists, what contributes most significantly to obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)?
OCD is linked entirely with neurological dysfunction leading to repetitive thoughts/actions.
Unresolved unconscious conflicts from childhood create anxious feelings managed through obsessions and compulsions.
OCD is entirely genetic and passed down through families.
OCD develops solely because individuals learn certain rituals relieve their anxiety.
