title: [Obsessive doubts by contrast].
abstract: Obsessive doubts by contrast, along with traditional obsessions, refer to a kind of obsessive states, for which contrast content presentations provide a basis for obsession appearance accompanied by irresistible drive for walking off a psychogenic situation. Obsessive doubts by contrast are formed due to a conflict between equally attractive but incompatible wishes. The content of contrast throught is not absurd but reflects a real traumatizing situation. A study of 28 patients revealed they have psychasthenic accentuation as a personal feature in common. Obsessive doubts by contrast may develop both in the terms of affective disorders and schizotypical disorder (slow progredient schizophrenia). They have current character and in a number of cases transform into other obsessive-phobic states.
