Gee, I have a different question about your question, as you've phrased it below: Quoting Michael Lee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
> The action (repeating the alphabet over and over) helps > divert thinking > away from the frightening or inappropriate sexual or aggressive impulse, or > whatever > the case may be. I have not heard that reason for the action since old psychoanalytic notions of OCD were found to be lacking. I'd like to know if anyone can enlighten us with a newer understanding of the motivation. I have a child with some OCD problems and it seems that compulsion seems to have no underlying anything he was ever consciously aware of, other than just needing to get things evened out.
