Abstract
We report a case of a geriatric male patient who presented with unique features of obsessive-compulsive disorder revolving around religious and sexual themes. Psychodynamic therapy, instead of the traditional choice of cognitive behavioural therapy, was successfully used in conjunction with pharmacotherapy, leading to an improvement in symptoms.
