Preoccupation (9)

I believe the answer is:

obsession

'preoccupation' is the definition.
(I know that obsession is a type of preoccupation)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for obsession that I've seen before include "Phobia" , "Fixed idea" , "Persistent preoccupation" , "Enthusiasm" , "Unhealthy compulsion" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
