ABSTRACT
Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is a frequent and disabling psychic illness. Along psychiatric history, several etiological models have been successively hypothesized to explain the obsessive compulsive symptoms from a psychological, behavioural or biological point of view. This review aims at presenting OCD etiological models as well as describing OCD clinical and therapeutic aspects.

ABSTRACT
Patients with factitious disorders need to be ill and to defy physicians. These syndromes are difficult to diagnose because of the permanent disorder appearing inside the therapeutic relation. The case of a young woman who presents with a factitious anemia, also called Lasthenie de Ferjol syndrome, shows the complexity of such psychosomatic symptoms.
