Abstract

Twenty child and adolescent patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) were compared with 20 age- and sex-matched comparison patients regarding phenomenology and family functioning. The test-results indicated a possibly limited capacity for social interaction in a subgroup of the OCD patients. Depression and suicidal thoughts were commonly encountered in children with OCD. The families of OCD children seemed to differ from comparison families only with regard to mothers' view on adaptability. No specific type of OCD family was described.
