TY - JOUR PY - 1992// TI - [An unusual syndrome of partial neurotic neglect] JO - Zeitschrift für Klinische Psychologie, Psychopathologie und Psychotherapie A1 - Ulmar, G. A1 - Scheipers, K. SP - 165 EP - 173 VL - 40 IS - 2 N2 - An impressive case of a 48-year-old woman is reported who after parental divorce when she was two-year-old grew up under a wicked stepmother and developed various obsessive symptoms. In context with some personal disappointments the woman increasingly neglected her home which after eight years appeared like a refuse pit. Simultaneously she continued to groom herself, to dress perfectly and to perform well in her office. She finally committed a suicide attempt when undelayable installations forced her to admit artisans into her apartment. Our case is discussed regarding the double aspect of obsession as a protective function as well as an obstacle for the individual in coping with life.
