Abstract 

This report documents emerging posttraumatic obsessive–compulsive disorder in 13 Israeli military veterans diagnosed with both obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for whom the onset of OCD was clearly associated with the trauma. Data presented include four detailed case reports that delineate relations between symptomatology in the two disorders. Clinical and theoretical implications of these data are discussed.
