Abstract of the Article
The present study was aimed to determine the predictors of twelve symptom dimensions of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Following cross-sectional research design, 90 patients with OCD (Men = 43; Women = 47) were taken with the age range of 18-50 years through nonprobability purposive sampling technique. The assessment measures included Demographic Questionnaire, two subscales of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Symptom Checklist (Jabeen, 2008), Screening Questionnaire for Psychiatric Disorders (Kausar, 2013), Urdu version of Revised Adult Attachment Scale (Kausar, 2014), and Obsessive Belief Questionnaire-44 (Obsessive Compulsive Cognitions Working Group, 2001).
Attachment Orientation, Obsessive Beliefs, and Symptom Severity in Patients with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
Results revealed that attachment anxiety and avoidance had a nonsignificant relationship with OCD symptom dimensions. Moreover, obsessive beliefs of over importance/need to control thoughts and over responsibility/overestimation of threat had a significant positive relationship with sexual and blasphemous obsessions as well as control compulsions.
Attachment avoidance and over importance/need to control thoughts belief emerged as significant predictors of sexual obsessions; whereas, blasphemous obsessions were only predicted by over importance/need to control thoughts belief after controlling for gender, age of onset of OCD, duration of illness, and depression. Overresponsibility/overestimation of threat belief was a significant predictor of control compulsion. Research findings may help cognitive therapists in the identification of obsessive beliefs underlying specific symptom dimensions of OCD subsequently leading to improved treatment outcomes.
