title: Irritability and resistance in obsessional neurosis.
abstract: Eleven patients with primary obsessional neurosis were followed up after successful treatment. There was a significant association between reduction of interference of obsessions and anxiety. A stronger significant association was found between reduction of resistance to obsessions and irritability. These findings are discussed in the light of the current concepts of the phenomenology of obsessional neurosis.
