LIMA, Juciano Menezes  y  RUDGE, Ana Maria. Obsessive neurosis or OCD?. Tempo psicanal. [online]. 2015, vol.47, n.2, pp. 171-187. ISSN 0101-4838.

This article discusses the contribution of psychoanalysis to the theory of obsessional neurosis, in this time of great prestige of the diagnostic and statistical manuals and advancement of neurosciences. The disintegration of obsessional neurosis as a clinical unit, and its replacement by obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) is discussed. After observations on the epistemic specificity of the two approaches, the conclusion is that psychoanalysis has much to contribute to a multidisciplinary approach to psychopathology in that its particular theoretical position values speech and the history of the subject, in its singularity.

Palabras clave : obsessional neurosis; psychoanalysis; OCD.
