I never knew all that either, Phillipa.
My son had tics when he was very young; always had real bad ADHD now ADD..and has some signs of OCD with the way he keeps his room, etc...I worry about him....
Stuff on the unconscious causes of OCD:
"The underlying dynamic of obsessive or compulsive behavior is usually the unconscious attempt to neutralize feelings of anger, which are perceived by the afflicted person as objectionable and shameful. (In contrast, a disorder of impulse control often involves blatant acts of hostility, destructiveness, danger, or risk.)
OCD should not be confused with Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder, which is characterized by a pervasive pattern of preoccupation with orderliness, perfectionism, and mental and interpersonal control. Such a personality can be inflexible, rigid, stubborn, and miserly."

Oh-you gotta read about anger and how it manifests into all our symptoms:
..."In fact, the proof of all this can be found in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder where a person who feels overwhelmingly ashamed of these fantasies of revenge will construct elaborate rituals to neutralizeor undothese bad thoughts."
