Abstract
SYNOPSIS The Leyton Obsessional Inventory gives both an indication of the range of obsessional symptoms present and the degree of resistance and interference associated with each symptom. A new method is described in which the covariation of resistance and interference is represented in the form of a matrix. The results, using this method, can give a unique picture of the quality of the patient's symptoms from the clinical standpoint and provide useful guidelines for treatment and follow up. Automatic data-processing is offered for the convenience of clinicians and researchers wishing to utilize the test in this form.Keywords
