Popis: Faradic disruption of verbal phrases and mental images was used with five chronic obsessive patients in an attempt to reduce obsessive ideation connected with their obsessive fears, doubts and horrific temptations and to reduce or eliminate their compulsive or ritualistic behavior such as handwashing and checking. As a result, three of the patients were vastly improved, one moderately improved and one developed psychotic delusions when her obsessions were eliminated. Psychological and clinical changes taking place during and after therapy are discussed.
