Causes and manifestations of infantilism as feelings of helplessness and despair: psychological and spiritual specifics (case analysis)

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) occurs in 1-3% of the adult population and is considered an extremely debilitating and severe disorder with concomitant complications in the social, professional and family spheres. At the same time, cultural-specific (ethnic, regional and religious) aspects of the manifestation of this condition are rarely highlighted, and even less often – the cultural specifics of psychological counseling.

This article is an integral part of a series of publications in which, based on specific cases of child-parent relations, the positive dynamics of psychological work based on Ingush culture and religious values is shown. The results of the author's accumulated experience show that the multicultural competence of the therapist provides him not only with a high level of trust from the client, but also with a professional approach based on the cultural aspects of psychological assistance [1; 2; 3; 4; 5].
