Validation of the Spanish version of the Fear of Self Questionnaire
Cognitive models, from both the appraisal and inferential confusion perspectives, propose that the self is a relevant variable in the development and maintenance of obsessive-compulsive (OC) disorder. In this study, we examined the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the Fear of Self Questionnaire (FSQ) and analyzed the role of the fear of self (the sort of person we are afraid of becoming) as a predictor of OC beliefs and symptoms. A sample of 359 non-clinical participants completed a set of questionnaires, including the FSQ. Confirmatory factor analysis replicated the original one-factor solution for both the FSQ-8- and 20-item versions. The FSQ demonstrated excellent reliab…

Therapeutic activities and the assimilation model: A preliminary exploratory study on the Insight stage
The assimilation model describes the process of change assuming that the self is enriched when there is a dialogue between nondominant voices or problematic experiences and the dominant voices. This dialogue is best seen in the Insight stage. The aim of this paper is to study the Insight stage during the assimilation process in relation to the main therapeutic activities performed by the therapist. All the Insights from the assimilation process of a patient, Maria, were analysed. In assimilation terms, Maria could be described through the nondominant voices of “dizziness,” “tiredness,” and “inability to cope with daily demands,” and through the dominant voices of “control,” “overcome and so…
Contexto, sí mismo y narrativas en el trastorno obsesivo compulsivo: cuando lo que podría ser importa más que lo que es
El estudio pretende analizar en mayor profundidad ciertas variables relacionadas con el Trastorno Obsesivo Compulsivo (TOC) a las que la investigación no ha dedicado mucha atención pero que sin embargo sí han demostrado su relevancia en el desarrollo y mantenimiento del trastorno. Las variables en las que pretendemos profundizar son el contexto, el self y las narrativas. Concretamente, el estudio pretende analizar las diferencias en estas tres variables entre intrusiones y obsesiones de un mismo individuo. Analizaremos las siguientes variables del contexto en el que surgieron por primera y última vez tanto la intrusión como la obsesión en un mismo individuo: estado emocional, nivel de estré…
