However, the notion of obsessionality employed within this framework does not necessarily correspond to the classical psychopathological concept developed in European descriptive psychopathology. This paper reexamines the concept of obsessionality through a psychopathological comparison with neighboring phenomena, including impulsivity, addiction, autochthonous thinking, stereotypy, tic disorders, and motoric forms of obsessive\u2010compulsive disorder (OCD). Classical descriptions by Kraepelin, Jaspers, Schneider, and others suggest that obsessionality is characterized not merely by repetitive thoughts or behaviors, but by a distinctive cognitive structure involving compelling force, accompanying anxiety, awareness of irrationality, and an ego\u2010dystonic yet self\u2010attributed experience. Many conditions currently incorporated into the obsessive\u2010compulsive spectrum, particularly motoric OCD and related repetitive behaviors, appear to differ fundamentally from classical obsessionality and may be more closely related to impulsive, addictive, neurological, or developmental phenomena. To accommodate these diverse conditions, this paper proposes the provisional category of \u201cmiddle\u2010voiced repetitive phenomena,\u201d encompassing repetitive thoughts and behaviors that are neither fully voluntary nor wholly passive. We argue that the expansion of the obsessive\u2010compulsive spectrum has obscured the distinctive cognitive features that historically defined obsessionality. Returning to the classical psychopathological definition may therefore be useful for both clinical practice and research.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/pcn5.70394","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,19]],"date-time":"2026-08-19T11:04:34Z","timestamp":1787137474000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Reclaiming obsessionality: Beyond the obsessive\u2010compulsive spectrum"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"Toshiyuki","family":"Kobayashi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry Jichi Medical University Tochigi Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_13_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/appi.books.9780890425596"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_3_1","volume-title":"Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders","author":"American Psychiatric Association","year":"1994"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_4_1","volume-title":"Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders","author":"American Psychiatric Association","year":"1980"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3928\/0048\u20105713\u201019930701\u201005"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM198908243210811"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_7_1","first-page":"33","article-title":"Obsessive compulsive spectrum disorder","volume":"55","author":"McElroy SL","year":"1994","journal-title":"J Clin Psychiatry"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_8_1","volume-title":"Obsessive\u2010compulsive disorder spectrum","author":"Yaryura\u2010Tobias JA","year":"1997"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S1092852913000722"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/da.20705"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/pcn.12421"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_12_1","volume-title":"Psychiatrie: Ein Lehrbuch f\u00fcr Studierende und \u00c4rzte. 8.
