Teacher’s Notes:Suggested variant of the review on the episode “Superstitions”:
Obsessions can be inherited, they can even be caught. Millions of people around the world are overpowered by them – from pulling their own hair to uncontrollable spending. This absorbing two part series interweaves real-life experience with dramatic reconstruction as doctors, scientists and suffers attempt to understand the roots of obsession.
