In psychology, the term obsession refers to a recurring thought or image that a person experiences, which is intrusive and it causes anxiety to the person.
This anxiety leads to a compulsion which is the behavior that the person feels the urge to do in order to stop the intrusive thought (in other words, to stop the obsession).
In this example Keisha is o<u>verly concerned about germs (this is a recurring thought she has, therefore this is the obsession)</u> and as a result she spends hours <u>wiping the surfaces of her home and washing her hands (this is a behavior done in order to stop the thought so this would be the compulsion).</u>
Therefore, the obsession is the concern over germs
