[Case of compulsive-obsessive neurosis. Clinical observations]

The authors describe a clinical case of obsessive-compulsive neurosis, from eight years of evolution. The out-lined therapy was in agreement with the principles of "behaviour therapy" and had two main goals. The first one, was obtaining the emotional desinhibition of the patient and, the second one, preventing him from doing any ritual, 24 hours per day, using the method of "response prevention". By now he has more than a year after treatment and is maintaining without medicines and leading a professional, active life.
