Extract

We wish to record a case of obsessional neurosis remarkable for its strange content and unusual form, and in doing so to draw attention to the comparative rarity of this condition as a primary diagnosis in Naval Psychiatry. Our observations on the last point may not be without interest in considering the aetiology of this condition.
