ABSTRACT
It may appear contrary to orthodox usage, to place Obsessional Neurosis under the heading of “More Severe Illnesses” and separated from the other favourite psychoneurosis, Hysteria, by so strange an intruder as Epilepsy. After placing Hypochondria, a symptom-complex most constant in Involutional Melancholia, and Drug Addiction in the group of the Hysterias, it may seem that I am again flouting the usual textbook order by this further example of arbitrariness.
