Abstract
In this study, we aimed to delineate some demographic, social. clinical and personality variables in patients with obsessive compulsive disorder and hysteria who did not respond to the usual measures of treatment for one year and correlate them with outcome of these disorders. To accomplish this aim, we chose 60 patients suffering from obsessive compulsive disorder or hysteria-according to DSM III R criteria- and in whome, the present illness had been either persistent or recurrent for at least one year inspite of active treatment. They were subjected to history taking, present state examination, structured clinical interview for DSM III R personality disorders, ego strength scale, life events questionnaire and global assessment of functioning scale. from the interpretation of the obtained results we concluded that some factors which may contribute to resistance to treatment.
