Abstract:

A meta-analysis of event-related potential (ERP) studies between controls and high-OCD groups was conducted to examine whether there is a consistent relationship between differences in P300 amplitude and latency following exposure to OCD-related stimuli.After applying exclusion and inclusion criteria, 10 studies remained. The overall effect size for amplitudinal P300 differences was non-significant and results were heterogeneous, while the overall findings for latency were significant. There is therefore tentative evidence from this meta-analysis that reduced P300 latency is a neural correlate

Abstract:

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is characterised by intrusions into conscious thinking by repetitive, personally abhorrent, absurd and alien thoughts (obsessions) which lead to endless repetitive acts or rehearsal of irrational and sometimes bizarre mental and behavioural rituals (compulsions). Although a number of clinical constructs have been proposed to have a causal influence on OC symptoms, extremely little research exists examining how these constructs are related to each other and, further, how the relationships between these constructs influences each constructs relationship with O

Abstract:

Disgust has been implicated in the aetiology and maintenance of various forms of psychopathology, including contamination related obsessive-compulsive disorder (C-OCD). Disgust is difficult to diminish using standard exposure-based interventions. It can be acquired through evaluative conditioning (EC) where a disgust valence towards a neutral stimulus (CS) can be learnt through its contingent presentation with a disgusting stimulus (US). Drawing on the expectancy learning model, exposure-based interventions successfully reduce fear towards the CS by violating danger expectancy, but the affecti

Background. Feelings of doubt and perseverative behaviours are key symptoms of obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) and have been linked to hyperactive error and conflict signals in the brain.

We examined event-related potentials during conflict processing in 70 patients with OCD and 70 matched healthy comparison participants, focusing on the stimulus-locked N2 elicited in a flanker task.

Abstract:

Compulsive exercise has been observed as a significant feature of the eating disorders throughout their history. It has variously been conceptualised as primarily an analogue of purgation, an emotion regulation strategy, an addiction, or an obsessivecompulsive behaviour, with evidence supporting each to varying degrees. The importance of compulsive exercise is underlined by the finding that it often precedes the onset of an eating disorder and is one of the last symptoms to subside. In addition, it is associated with a longer length of hospitalisation and higher rates of relapse. As a result,

The present studies explore the role of death anxiety across various mental health disorders. At the onset, death anxiety had been shown to have a causal role in only one subtype of OCD. Study 1 examined common developmental pathways to OCD, finding that death anxiety significantly predicted the course of this disorder. Study 2 found that death anxiety significantly correlated with all six subtypes of OCD. Study 3 extended the research focus beyond OCD, to explore whether death anxiety predicts psychopathology across a range of different diagnostic categories. Using a clinical sample, the resu

The Salkovskis (1999) model of obsessive-compulsive disorder (QGD) provides a clinically useful aid to formulation and treatment of OCD (Fenger et al., 2007).

Abstract:

This study investigated the role of magical thinking in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Magical thinking was defined as the belief that having a thought may actually cause or increase the likelihood of an event happening to self or others. Cognitive and psychoanalytic models of OCD (Salkovskis, 1985; McFall and Wollersheim, 1979; Freud, 1909) have hypothesised that magical thinking or a sense of inflated personal influence may play a significant part in the phenomenology of OCD. Other authors such as Tallis (1995) have suggested how a sense of inflated personal influence might lead to the

Abstract:

The thesis is divided into four parts. In Part A, what are termed the "standard diagnostic criteria" for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder" (OCD) are reviewed, and argued to be implausible. The beginnings of an alternative approach to the definition of the disorder are presented. Empirical investigations of the characteristics of obsessive-compulsive experience among OCD sufferers are also reported. The results of these investigations both confirm the critique of the "standard diagnostic criteria", and are consistent with previous phenomenological investigations of OCD patients.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is heterogeneous in its presentation and quests to clarify the best way to subtype OCD have remained elusive. This thesis aims to assess for symptom-based OCD subtypes in a sample of patients with OCD and to describe the characteristics of these OCD symptom subtypes. The methods used include principal components analysis of the results of the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Scale – Symptom Checklist (YBOCS-SC) and the Vancouver Obsessional Compulsive Inventory (VOCI) self report obtained from a sample of 154 subjects with a primary diagnosis of OCD.

The aim of this research was to investigate the use of self-help therapy for the treatment of Obsessive-compulsive disorder.

The second study strengthened the evidence surrounding the metacognitive model, finding significant relationships between OCD symptoms and metacognition. In the third and fourth studies, an online metacognitive program for OCD was developed and evaluated within a preliminary trial.

Abstract:

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is classified as an anxiety disorder characterized by distressing persistent unwanted ideas or impulses (obsessions) and urges and/or compulsion to do something to relieve the associated anxiety caused by the obsession. The thematic content of the obsessions are highly variable, ranging from symmetry, contamination to aggressive concerns. Compulsions tend to be linked to the obsessions, but can also be idiosyncratic to the intrusive thought. According to the cognitive model, Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is maintained by various belief factors such as

This study recruited 20 participants with OCD and 20 controls to rate 294 emotional photos (emotional stimuli not related to OCD) for emotional valence. Participants were then asked to downregulate while they saw the 20 photos with the highest negative ratings and 20 photos with the highest positive ratings. Participants with OCD had more difficulty downregulating t

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) contributes to significant distress and chronic individual and societal impairment (e.g., DuPont et al., 1995; Ruscio et al., 2010). Despite the effectiveness of existing exposure-based therapies, some clients do not achieve symptom reduction or remission (Öst et al., 2015). Thus, identification of the mechanisms of change in treatment and more focused interventions are warranted to improve intervention effectiveness (e.g., Zvolensky et al., 2006). Distress intolerance may be an important but understudied mechanism of change in treatment for OCD. The current

Obsessive compulsive personality disorder (OCPD) and perfectionism commonly co-occur with, and can impact on the severity and treatment of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD).

This thesis presents a collection of studies that examine the measurement of the OCPD construct, and the treatment of OCD and clinical perfectionism.

However, further research is needed to elucidate whether these cognitive deficits and personality traits are specific to OCD or are present in other anxiety disorders and/or individuals with sub-clin
