The significance of obsessionsThordarson, Dana Sigrid 11 1900 (has links)
The purpose of this thesis was to investigate a specific cognitive theory of
obsessions; namely, that unwanted and repugnant intrusive thoughts cause
distress and persist when the person interprets their occurrence as highly
personally significant and important. Two studies were conducted. In the first
study, we described the development and undertook a validation study of a new
scale of obsessional-compulsive symptoms, the Vancouver Obsessional
Compulsive Inventory (VOCI). This measure was a necessary first step because
established measures of obsessional-compulsive symptoms are inadequate in
their assessment of a number of domains of obsessional-compulsive complaints,
particularly obsessions. Our findings in samples of people with obsessivecompulsive
disorder (OCD), people with other anxiety disorders or depression,
community adults, and undergraduate students suggest that the VOCI is a
promising new measure. In the second study, we investigated the role of
interpretations of the personal significance and importance of intrusive thoughts
in the occurrence of obsessions. Specifically, we hypothesized that people who
have repugnant obsessions or frequent, distressing intrusive thoughts would
interpret their intrusive thoughts as highly personally significant and important.
Our hypotheses were, in general, supported. There was a clear relationship
between beliefs and interpretations of the importance of thoughts and
obsessions in both OCD and nonclinical samples. In addition, these beliefs and
appraisals appeared to be specifically related to repugnant obsessions, rather
than obsessive-compulsive complaints in general. This research represents one
of the first attempts to evaluate the assertion that misinterpretations of intrusive
thoughts are fundamental in the experience of obsessions. The development of
the VOCI was a necessary first step in evaluating the relationship between
interpretations of personal significance and particular obsessional-compulsive
complaints. By demonstrating specific interpretations that are associated with
clinical obsessions, we hope to refine cognitive-behavioural models of
obsessions, and suggest ways in which current cognitive-behaviour therapy for
obsessions can be sharpened and made more effective.

Responsibility in obsessive compulsive disorder: is it worth checking?Lopatka, Cindy Lee 05 1900 (has links)
The purpose of this investigation was to test the
hypothesis that perceived responsibility is a major
determinant of compulsive checking. Thirty participants
recruited from the community through the local media, who
met criteria for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, received
four conditions. In the low responsibility condition,
perceived responsibility for an anticipated negative eventt
was transferred to the experimenter. In contrast, in the
high responsibility condition, perceived responsibility for
an anticipated negative event was given to the participant.
The remaining two conditions served as control conditions.
Subjects were assessed before and after each experimental
manipulation.
Results suggest a causal connection between decreases
in perceived responsibility and compulsive checking.
Decreases in perceived responsibility produced decreases in
several measures critical to compulsive checking. Results
from increases in perceived responsibility were less clear.
However, increases in perceived responsibility lead to
increases in panic and likelihood of anticipated criticism. There were trends for increases in perceived responsibility
to lead to increases in perceptions of discomfort
experienced, urge to check, and severity of anticipated
criticism. There was no relationship between variations in
perceived responsibility and perceived extent of
controllability over an anticipated negative event.
Theoretical implications of the results and, in
particular, the value of a cognitive analysis of compulsive
checking, are discussed.

The impact of fathers on children with obsessive-compulsive disorderGaudreau, Guy 09 April 2010 (has links)
The primary objective of this study is to increase knowledge about the inter-relationship between parenting and obsessive-compulsive disorder in children and adolescents. More specifically, this study sets out to understand the impact or influence of fathers on children and adolescents with obsessive-compulsive disorder. This study further examines the changing roles of fathers and the impact these have on their children with obsessive-compulsive disorder. In an attempt to gain new insights into the father-child relationship, I have placed an emphasis on both risk and protective factors. That is, the study examines the lived experience of these fathers encompassing their interpretation of their children's obsessions and compulsions as well as their response to same, which has further consequences for themselves and their children. I was also the intent of this study to move away from "blaming" the parent or the child and instead, to examine the transactional nature of the emergence and maintenance of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
