Abstract
The diagnostic manual of the American Psychiatric Association (1987), DSM- III-R, classifies obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) as an anxiety disorder. OCD involves persistent, disturbing, unwanted thoughts, images, or impulses that are generally experienced as intrusive and senseless (obsessions) and are often accompanied by repetitive ritualistic thoughts or actions (compulsions) that the patient feels driven to perform.
