Material is presented from the analyses of three children who developed obsessional behavior during the course of their analytic work. The author's intent is to use a careful examination of the emergence of these children's obsessions to try to understand the unconscious determinants that lead to the development of obsessive-compulsive behavior as a way to deal with psychic distress.
