Abstract
The term neurosis means different things to different people. I am aiming to use it in the sense of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases, Injuries and Causes of Death, eighth edition, W.H.O. (1965). This lists the different neuroses, for example anxiety neurosis, phobic neurosis. The ISCD has been amplified and explained for British psychiatrists in a Glossary of Mental Diseases, Registrar General (1968).
