It is proposed that obsessions are caused by catastrophic misinterpretations of the significance of one's thoughts (images, impulses). The obsessions persist as long as these misinterpretations continue and diminish when the misinterpretations are weakened. Evidence and arguments in support of the theory are presented, and the questions of vulnerability and the origins of the thoughts are addressed. A firmly focused treatment strategy is deduced from the theory.
有人提出，强迫观念是由对自身想法（意象、冲动）的重要性进行灾难性错误解读所致。只要这些错误解读持续存在，强迫观念就会持续，而当错误解读减弱时，强迫观念就会减轻。文中呈现了支持该理论的证据和论据，并探讨了易感性问题以及想法的起源。从该理论推导出了一种重点明确的治疗策略。
