Abstract
A raised incidence of neurotic personality traits and mental illness has been reported among the first-degree relatives of obsessional neurotics. It has been suggested that genetical factors are involved in determining a predisposition to this condition, but some authors have postulated that similarities in aspects of the environment such as early upbringing and family traditions may account for similarities shown by relatives.Keywords
