In order to organise the sources I have used, I have created a table listing all the details needed for referencing that type of source which I hope will make citing and referencing in my report easier.
Through initial research I have discovered that OCD is the fourth most common mental disorder, therefore, it is necessary to determine how it is caused to ensure a relevant, successful treatment can be used. Furthermore, I have begun to research various theories which are grouped into: biological, genetic, environmental, cognitive and behavioural theories.
I have also email the libraries of the University of Sussex and the University of Brighton asking whether it would be possible to visit their libraries to consult the resources there. I have also emailed three consultants who have specialised in Psychiatry and have a specific interest in OCD. Hopefully, at least one will agree to answer a few of my questions, either in person or via email, after I have completed the bulk of my research in the university libraries.
