Abstract
The Sandler–Hazari (1960) obsessionality questionnaire items, when used as a scored "test", failed to discriminate between three groups of patients: (a) 20 obsessional states displaying severe, classical symptoms, (b) 20 patients of premorbid obsessional personality but without obsessional symptoms, (c) 20 non-obsessional control patients (hysterics and personality disorders). The implications of this are discussed.Keywords
