twins, ocd, stuff

John, as you you say, we've had an overload of this stuff. Again, if anything (and if you swallow it, which it sounds like neither of us really does) it tends to argue against the simpleminded biological view of OCD. Thus, if there is a genetic basis for a wide range of behavioural phenotypes (like temperament, being a good dancer), it is astonishing how low the Monozygotic twin concordance is for anxiety disorders like OCD. best wishes
