Is context a crucial factor in distinguishing between intrusions and obsessions in patients with obsessive‐compulsive disorder?
2021
Objective Some cognitive models of obsessive‐compulsive disorder (OCD) posit that intrusions exist on a continuum with obsessions; others consider that they may be unrelated phenomena that differ in the context where they occur. We aimed to examine and compare, at two different moments, the context of the occurrence of intrusions and obsessions. Method Sixty‐eight patients with OCD completed an interview appraising their most upsetting obsession and intrusion. Results At their onset, the obsessions/intrusions were associated with experiencing negative emotional states and life events, and they were more likely to appear in 'inappropriate' contexts. The context of the obsessions/intrusions d…
The Role of Perceived Control in the Psychophysiological Responses to Disgust of Subclinical OCD Women
2019
Obsessive‒compulsive disorder (OCD), and especially contamination obsessions and washing compulsions, has been related to disgust. However, when its cardiovascular correlates have been studied, contradictory results have been found, including heart rate accelerations and decelerations. The aim of this study is to analyze emotional, cognitive, and cardiovascular responses in nonclinical (control) and subclinical participants with obsessive‒compulsive contamination/washing symptoms when confronted with a disgusting stimulus. Twenty-seven participants (14 subclinical OCD) completed a behavioral avoidance task with a contamination-based stimulus while their heart rate and subjective variables w…
The relationship between obsessions and the self: Feared and actual self-descriptions in a clinical obsessive-compulsive disorder sample.
2022
Cognitive models of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) posit the relevance of the self in OCD, although the nature of this association is still unclear. We aimed to explore actual and feared selves and its association with obsessions and intrusions in a group of OCD patients. A group of 58 patients with OCD identified their most upsetting obsession and intrusion (non-clinical obsession) experienced in the past three months. These cognitions were classified as either moral-based or autogenous (obsessions n=32; intrusions n=26) or non-moral-based or reactive, depending on their content. Next, patients described their actual self and their feared self, that is, the person they feared being or…
¿Qué papel juegan la evitación del daño y la sensación de inacabado en los síntomas obsesivos de orden y comprobación?
2020
Numerosas investigaciones han intentado determinar las variables implicadas en la génesis y mantenimiento del Trastorno Obsesivo-Compulsivo (TOC). Recientemente, se han propuesto la evitación del daño y la sensación de inacabado como dos dimensiones nucleares motivadoras de la sintomatología obsesivo-compulsiva. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar el papel de la evitación del daño y la sensación de inacabado en su relación con los síntomas obsesivo-compulsivos. Para ello, se realizó un Path analysis en una muestra de 267 personas de la población general (74,5% mujeres; edad media 27,29 años). Los resultados mostraron que la asociación entre evitación del daño y los síntomas de orden y …

Assessment of Executive Functions in Patients with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder by NeuroVR
2012
Executive functions are often impaired in obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). We used a Virtual Reality (VR) version of the Multiple Errand Test (MET) inside a virtual supermarket, in order to evaluate the executive functions in daily life in 10 OCD patients and 10 controls. It is performed in a shopping setting where there are items to be bought and information to be obtained. The specific goal of this study was to implement a tool for the assessment of executive functions.
