Abstract
Obsessive-compulsive disorders (OCDs) (ICD-9 = 300.3) (ICD-9, 1978) remain an obscure, heterogeneous, and often unmanageable collection of interfering and repetitive experiences and actions which may interrupt, and occasionally obliterate the flow of behaviour (Beech, 1974; Rachman & Hodgson, 1980; Berrios, 1985; Jenike et al, 1986). Considered during the 19th century as a form of psychosis, OCDs were incorporated at the turn of the century into the psychodynamically redefined class of the ‘neuroses’ (Berrios, 1985). However, this newly gained identity has proved to be heuristically sterile as well as delaying research.
