Abstract

Women with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), trichotillomania (TTM) and normal controls completed a neuropsychological battery which was designed to test executive and visuospatial dysfunctions. Differences between the combined patient group and normal controls on the Rey-Osterreith Copy Test were consistent with previous work demonstrating similar neuropsychological dysfunctions in OCD and TTM.
