This paper is part of a most extensive research about obsessive neurosis after Freud's editions. It proposes a bibliographical review about the formation and development of obsessive neurosis in children. The material was classified into the follow thematic categories: clinic cases, origin and development, latency period and mother's place. The various points of view are presented, and discuss whether there is, to the authors, in fact obsessive neurosis like a pathological picture in childhood. Most of the authors refuses to accept the idea of a well established obsessive neurosis in childhood.
