Abstract

Set-shifting ability and therapeutic response to serotonin reuptake inhibitors were investigated in 20 patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder. A clear relationship was found between impaired performance on two Wisconsin Card Sorting sub-tests (categories completed and perseverative errors) and positive treatment response.
