Abstract
Obessional-compulsive neurosis is quite a rare phenomenon with a prevalance of about 3% in all neurotics and 0.05% in the general population (de Silva, 1987). The form an obsessional-compulsive neurosis takes varies tremendously and its aetiology is not always easily identifiable. Salkovskis and Westbrook (1989) highlight the importance of a thorough assessment in distinguishing obsessional thoughts and “cognitive rituals”.Keywords
