In contemporary mental health care in Britain, the dominant model for psychological disorders rests on an understanding of the mind as a computing machine (with 'malfunctions' and pathways). However, this understanding is increasingly criticised as 'reductive'. This project will assess the historical emergence of this model of mind through an analysis of the formation of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) at London's Institute of Psychiatry, 1948-80. It will unpick the specific conceptual and institutional roots of OCD, showing how it was pivotal in transforming the way in which we conceive of mental health and its treatment in general.

在当代英国的精神卫生保健中，心理障碍的主导模式依赖于将心灵理解为计算机（具有“故障”和路径）。然而，这种理解越来越被批评为“简化”。该项目将通过分析1948-80年伦敦精神病学研究所强迫症（OCD）的形成来评估这种思维模式的历史出现。它将解开强迫症的具体概念和制度根源，展示它是如何在改变我们对精神健康及其治疗的总体看法方面发挥关键作用的。
