    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Psychiatry
    • Clinical Psychology

    Background:

    • Obsessive-compulsive neurosis (OCN) is a complex psychiatric condition.
    • Understanding the emotional and cognitive manifestations of OCN is crucial for effective treatment.
    • Hostility and guilt are significant psychological constructs often explored in neurosis research.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the specific phenomena of hostility and guilt in patients with obsessive-compulsive neurosis.
    • To compare these phenomena between OCN patients and individuals with neurotic depression.
    • To identify potential differences in emotional expression and attributional styles.

    Main Methods:

    • A comparative study involving 30 cases of obsessive-compulsive neurosis.
    • Inclusion of a control group of 30 subjects with neurotic depression.
    • Utilized Foulds' Five Punitive Scales and the Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) for data collection.

    Main Results:

    • Patients with obsessive-compulsive neurosis demonstrated a tendency towards acting-out hostility.
    • The experimental group exhibited a significant extrapunitive tendency, attributing causes externally.
    • No statistically significant differences were observed in guilt scores between the OCN and neurotic depression groups.

    Conclusions:

    • Obsessive-compulsive neurosis is associated with outward expressions of hostility and externalizing blame.
    • Guilt may not be a differentiating factor between obsessive-compulsive neurosis and neurotic depression.
    • Further research is warranted to explore the nuances of emotional processing in different neurotic conditions.
