- Luc,
- A good place to start for OC models is Judith Rapaport's book
- titled Obsessive Compulsive Disorder in Children, or something
- to that effect. In it, biological, ethological, and other models
- are presented.
- One name that has been associated with cybernetic models of OCD
- is Pittman (Roger, I believe), though I don't have the specific
- reference. I know of no papers that take the approach you suggest,
- but it sounds interesting. I'd be interested to hear more. I have
- lots of other refs with respect to OCD and Tourette's, and a few other
- possibly related papers, including one on environmental dependency
- syndrome, which occurs after certain frontal lobe lesions.
- Timothy Shallice also discusses a model that I think works for a number
- of these syndromes and behaviors.
