Medical - Psychology
English term or phrase: Obsession
Termen ingår i en utvärdering av patienter med tvångssyndrom (obsessive-compulsive disorder). Det läggs stor vikt vid att skilja mellan "obsessions" och "compulsions". Min nästa Kudoz-fråga kommer att behandla termen compulsions, och ange definitionen på denna som den framgår i enkäten. "Obsessions are unwelcome and distressing ideas, thoughts, images or impulses that repeatedly enter your mind. They may seem to occur against your will, they may be repugnant or repellent to you, you may recognise them as senseless and they may not fit your personality. "

tvångstanke / tvångsföreställning
Explanation:
I sammanhanget skulle jag föreslå att det engelska "obsession" länkas till tvångstankar, medan "compulsion" länkas till tvångshandlingar.
