Özet: Obsessional neurosis was first introduced by Freud with some basic components that include inner thoughts and some compulsive acts. Lacan later used this term as a structure in his subject-formation approach. According to Lacan, the subject occurs in some important moments which have some different mechanisms and structures. Obsessional neurosis is one of those structures formed by separation moment. Indeed, the main feature of that structure is related with the issue of overcoming the anxiety that emerges from separation through the way of refusing the Other. In the current paper, the obsessional neurosis was detailed based on Lacanian subject-formation diagnosis approach with some features such as refusing the Other, desire, guilt, and control. Then, a case was examined within that context by drawing attention to the relation between his symptoms and previous patterns. At the end, therapy process of the case and Lacanian therapeutic approach were discussed.
