2 hrs confidence:

zwangsneurotisches Verhalten

Explanation:
obsessive behaviour - Zwanghaftes / Zwangsverhalten
compulsive behaviour - ebenso
obsessive-compulsive - zwangsneurotisch (auch compulsive-neurotic)

Ist ein Freudscher Begriff - nur der Kontext könnte zeigen, ob das hier gemeint ist.

http://www.hausarbeiten.de/faecher/hausarbeit/lit/18277.html
"In seinen früheren Schriften, wie zum Beispiel der Traumdeutung von 1900 und Totem und Tabu von 1913 ist für Freud vor allem das Lustprinzip Triebfeder der menschlichen Psyche und verdrängte Sexualität hauptsächliche Ursache für zwangsneurotisches verhalten."

"während sich der zweite Fragenkomplex auf den Persönlichkeitsbereich "ängstliches bzw. zwangsneurotisches Verhalten" konzentriert "
