Description
Summary:Obsessional neurosis, inasfar as it comes to the attention of the psychiatrist, is a comparatively rare disorder, comprising not more than about 3 per cent of all cases of neurosis. Its rarity is reflected in the fact that the largest series so far described, that of Pollitt (1957), consisted of only 150 cases, though a limited amount of information has been available from the somewhat larger series of the Bethlem-Maudsley Hospital (Blacker and Gore, 1955) and of the Registrar General (1964).
