Freud suggested that unresolved unconscious conflicts at anal stage of psychosexual development cause fixation that eventually lead to development of obsessions and ritualistic behaviours at later life. To apply the Freudian idea to the given case study, it can be assumed that Diane’s unresolved conflicts have caused a fixation at anal stage of her development. The repressed angry thoughts expressed themselves in Diane’s behaviour resulting in anxiety and fear of stepping on the pavement cracks. From psychoanalytic point of view OCD is conceptualised in terms of constant conflict between feelings of love and hate.

Existential psychotherapy can be seen as a tapestry of intersecting practices, all oriented around the concern of the lived human experience (Cooper, 2003).
