This paper considers the particular resonances between the experience of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and a theology of Holy Saturday that emphasizes Christ’s “going to the dead.” On the psychological front, the paper reviews common aspects of OCD; on the theological front, the paper outlines the arguments of Hans Urs von Balthasar concerning Christ’s Holy Saturday suffering and solidarity with humanity. The paper then utilizes a “Chalcedonian conception” of balancing theology and psychology, with each informing (and not eclipsing) the other, by examining the ways that a study of OCD and Holy Saturday together can prevent harmful distinctions between the spiritual and the scientific, the sacred and the secular.

本文考虑强迫症（OCD）的经历与强调耶稣“死了”的圣周六神学之间的特殊共鸣。在心理方面，本文回顾了强迫症的共同方面。在神学方面，本文概述了汉斯·乌尔斯·冯·巴尔塔萨尔（Hans Urs von Balthasar）关于基督的圣周六遭受苦难和与人类团结的论点。然后，论文探讨了强迫症和圣周六共同研究可防止精神与科学之间有害区别的方式，并运用了一种“加里斯顿式的概念”，在神学和心理学之间取得了平衡。神圣与世俗。
