| Abstract: | An account of imagery occurring in the context of obsessional-compulsive disorders is presented, using data from clinical cases and from the literature. Four distinct types of such images are identified and described. Observations are made on their prevalence, formal properties, functional significance, content and relation to stress. The relevance of the study of this phenomenon to the understanding of and theories on imagery in general, is commented on. Finally, issues of treatment are briefly discussed. |
