    Abstract

    The authors examine the changing prevalence and severity of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) criteria from DSM-III to DSM-IV. Results show that the changes in the reported prevalence and severity of OCD between DSM-III and DSM-IV cases are most likely a function of the differences in diagnostic criteria between DSM-III and DSM-IV.
