Case 1:
Rocky Prater went to college only because of pressure from his older
brother. Unfortunately, he got into several courses he hated, so that the
entire school day seemed difficult and dull. Shortly before midterms,
Rocky developed a thought that he had not set his alarm clock. He would
lean out of bed to check, but it was always set. Sometimes he would wake
up in the middle of the night with the terrible feeling that the alarm was
not set, but it always was. Still he continued to go through this alarm
checking ritual at least once every night and often more frequently.
Finally his counselor helped him realize that his recurring thought
was based on his unconscious desire to sleep through his morning classes
and that the behavior was his unconscious method of counter-acting thes
unrecognized feelings. After his talk with the counselor his behavior
began to fade away.

Answer 1

OCD, or obsessive-compulsive disorder, is the condition at hand. Rocky Prater has an obsession with his frequent thoughts of not setting his alarm clock and a compulsion with his frequent checking behaviour. He uses the compulsion to ease the anxiety brought on by the obsession. His behaviour started to change after the counsellor helped him become aware of the subconscious motivation driving it.than the other on average.
