title: Inter-rater reliability of a classification of obsessions and compulsions.
abstract: Weighted kappa and random error coefficient was used to determine inter-rater reliability of a proposed classification of obsessions and compulsions. A high reliability was found between 3 raters for obsessive and compulsive form and content. This classification allows for greater precision in classifying obsessive-compulsive phenomena in research.
