Abstract

We report on a 27-year-old woman with previously therapy-resistant obsessive-compulsive disorder and emotionally unstable personality disorder, borderline type, which improved considerably on treatment with clozapine. Previous treatment attempts with paroxetine, clomipramine and various classic and atypical neuroleptics, as well as extensive psychotherapeutic treatment, had proved ineffective.
