Tasia Scrutton (Leeds) Scrupulosity: Religious OCD and spiritual perfectionism

Scrupulosity is sometimes regarded as a form of OCD which focuses especially on religious obsessions and compulsions. In this paper, drawing on my own experience and that of C.S. Lewis and others, I will expand our understanding of what scrupulosity is like, including ways in which it is experienced differently by people in different religious traditions.
