▼ Dit onderzoek deed een poging een verklaring te vinden voor de ogenschijnlijke discrepantie tussen de negatieve effecten van perseveratie (verhoogde geheugenonzekerheid) en de volharding van OC patiënten in hun check gedrag. Hierbij werd verwacht dat patiënten met OCS bij het initiëren van het checkgedrag al onzekerder zijn over hun geheugen dan mensen zonder OCS. Tijdens de eerste of tweede check zouden zij zodoende nog kunnen stijgen in geheugenzekerheid, in tegenstelling tot mensen zonder OCS die dan al een plafond hebben bereikt qua geheugenzekerheid en niet meer zekerder kunnen worden door middel van checkgedrag. Deze initiële stijging in geheugenzekerheid bij patiënten met OCS zou mogelijk de bekrachtiger kunnen zijn die ervoor zorgt dat het checkgedrag gehandhaafd blijft. Daarnaast werd verwacht dat beide groepen na 12 checks een parallelle daling zouden laten zien. Om deze hypothesen te testen werden middels de OCI-R uit een steekproef van 300 studenten van de Universiteit Utrecht, 32 participanten geselecteerd en onderverdeeld in een OC+ groep (N = 14) en een OC- groep. (N = 18). Tijdens de experimentele fase werd gebruik gemaakt van de virtuele gasfornuizen checking taak en werd bij beide groepen gevraagd naar geheugenzekerheid tijdens een pre-test en de 1e, 2e en 12e check. Bij de OC + groep was sprake was een hogere initiële geheugenonzekerheid dan bij de OC- groep. Daarnaast werd het cruciale interactie-effect gevonden waarbij de OC+ groep na de eerste check wel steeg in zekerheid en de OC- groep niet. In plaats van een parallelle daling in geheugenzekerheid na de dertiende check werd een interactie-effect gevonden waarbij de OC+ groep harder daalde in geheugenzekerheid dan de OC-groep. Dit resultaat kan een gevolg zijn van toeval maar het is ook mogelijk dat er een versterkt effect van perseveratie ten aanzien van geheugenzekerheid bij patiënten met
OCD bestaat. De resultaten van deze studie zijn een eerste aanwijzing voor de initiële stijging in geheugenzekerheid als katalysator van checkgedrag. Tenslotte worden de tekortkomingen van het huidige onderzoek en aanbevelingen voor vervolgonderzoek en behandeling genoemd

▼ Mindfulness has been proposed as a potential treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), a debilitating condition that for many is life-long. However, it is not clear whether, and how, mindfulness is experienced as helpful by OCD sufferers. The aim of this research was to explore the experiences of people with OCD who used mindfulness practices in order to investigate these questions. A study into how mindfulness is experienced within the context of OCD is important to establish how OCD sufferers apply mindfulness both in the treatment of their OCD and more generally in their lives; to hear from them what understanding they have about how mindfulness affects their OCD; and to discover what they perceive as helpful or unhelpful. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (Smith, Flowers & Larkin, 2009) was used to analyse semi-structured interview transcripts from seven participants (3 men, 4 women) who had lived with OCD for between 2 and 45 years and who had used mindfulness from four months to five years. The analysis revealed that while mindfulness was not a cure for OCD, all the participants considered it to be a beneficial adjunct to, or replacement for, the existing treatment for OCD. Mindfulness helped participants change their relationship to intrusive thoughts and develop a new way of being more comfortable with themselves and their OCD. This finding has added to the limited research that has shown mindfulness practice can be a useful addition to the treatment for OCD. However, this study also found that mindfulness could, for some, become incorporated into the OCD in ways that might be considered unhelpful (see journal article). The thesis discussion focuses on two main areas. First, it examines how the participants' lived experience of OCD sits alongside the dominant models of OCD outlined in the literature review. Second, the finding that there are possible areas of concern for the use of mindfulness is addressed within a more general discussion of whether mindfulness is useful just as a technique in the treatment of OCD. The discussion concludes with some implications for clinical practice and recommendations for further research.

▼ There are over three million people in the United States (500,000 of these children) that know the true terror of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. ONCE AGAIN is a short experimental documentary about the truth of Childhood
OCD. Weaving together live action footage, home movies, and animation, the filmmaker tells the story of his childhood struggles with this horrible disorder. In the early nineties,
OCD was thought to be a behavioral, almost psychotic disorder. Through mental torture, hospitalization, and humiliation, Once Again shows how John Spottswood Moore eventually won the fight against the disorder to become a champion of his own mind and body.

▼ The purpose of this online quantitative study was to explore the impact to families when raising a child diagnosed with Pediatric Acute-Onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS), including the subsets of Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal (PANDAS), and Pediatric Infection Triggered Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder (PITAND) and what variables may mitigate the impact. The demographic variables examined in this study included relationship status of the person completing the survey, parent and child age, parent and child ethnicity, parent level of education, parent relationship status, and household income. Illness factor variables included the diagnosis, date of onset of symptoms, date of diagnosis, history of family autoimmune disorders, restricted food intake, who first suspected PANS, who diagnosed PANS, number of professionals seen before diagnosis, who and how child is currently being or has ever been treated, and if travel over 50 miles is or was necessary for treatment. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (
OCD) symptom severity was measured with the Children’s Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale – Parent Report (CY-BOCS-PR). Total impact on the family was measured with the Impact on Family Scale (IOFS) (Stein & Jessop, 2003). Parents were recruited through PANDASNetwork.org and were asked to complete the online survey which included the demographic and illness questions, the CY-BOCS-PR, and the IOFS assessment.
This study examined the differences between demographic variables, symptom severity, and duration between onset of symptoms and diagnosis and their impact on the family’s total score on the IOFS tool using three research questions. Subscales from the IOFS assessment were also analyzed. Statistical comparisons were completed to analyze what influence different variables had on the total impact on the family and the IOFS subscales. Significant relationships were found to exist between parent’s relationship status and
OCD symptom severity when compared to the total impact on the family. No significant relationship was found for duration between onset of symptoms and diagnosis and the total IOFS score but significance was found on the financial and parental strain subscales of the IOFS.
OCD symptom severity appeared to have the most profound impact on the family as significant relationships were found on the total impact on the family scores as well as the financial, parental strain, and disruption of social and family relationships subscales.
A primary goal derived from the findings of this study aims to help parents and children gain understanding from the professionals who treat and work with those diagnosed with PANS. Although this illness remains controversial and it is still unknown why this devastating disorder develops in some children, it is known that many children and families are affected and are frantically seeking answers. It is hoped that a greater sense of urgency for more research will be roused by this investigation.

Does repeated checking really cause memory distrust?: Improving the computer task.

▼ Repeatedly checking the same class of items results in sharp decreases in the meta-memory (i.e. confidence, detail and vividness) (e.g. van den Hout & Kindt, 2003a, 2004; Radomsky & Alcolado, 2010). Multiple researches have studied this phenomenon and often the computer task created by van den Hout and Kindt (2003a) was used (e.g. Boschen & Vukcanovic, 2007; Dek, van den Hout, Engelhard, Giele & Cath, 2015; Dek, van den Hout, Giele & Engelhard 2010). However, it has recently and accidentally been noted in the clinical psychology lab of Utrecht University that this task contained an error. Participants spend noticeably less time on the control condition than the experimental condition, which indicates that the control condition is simpler. Therefore, a new computer task was developed in which both conditions should be equally difficult. The process of developing the task was supported by two pilot studies. The aim of the current study was to show that the new task has equal conditions and to replicate findings of previous studies. Eighty-four participants performed the new checking task in which they first checked either a gas stove or light bulbs at pre-test and answered questions about the meta-memory variables. Following, 20 checks were completed of one of these objects, and finally they checked the same object as they checked at pre-test and answered the questions once more. Results showed that the mean checking time was significantly lower in the gas stove checking trial than in the light bulb checking trial. Additionally, as we hypothesized, repeated checking resulted in decreased meta-memory scores. In conclusion, the adaptions to the computer task by van den Hout and Kindt (2003a) were not sufficient in providing a new computer task with equal conditions. Nevertheless, information about how to adjust this task was provided. Moreover, the study replicated findings of former research about repeated checking affecting the meta-memory, successfully.

▼ OCD is a common mental health problem which causes significant distress and reduced quality of life. Recovery rates remain low; behavioural and cognitive-behavioural models may be missing key constructs. People with OCD report higher levels of responsibility than the general population. If people with OCD feel responsible for preventing harm, it follows that they feel guilty about the prospect of causing harm. Pathological levels of guilt are associated with a poor prognosis in people with OCD. People with OCD also report distressing imagery, which is linked with high levels of emotional arousal. If people with OCD experience high levels of distress, negative imagery and guilt, they may be more sensitive to moral concerns. This study recruited 205 people to test three hypotheses relating to morality, imagery and guilt. Firstly, it was proposed that people in the low-OC group would demonstrate an intention bias and those in the high-OC group would not. Secondly, more frequent use of imagery would be associated with higher levels of OCD symptomatology, distress and guilt. Finally, state and trait guilt would mediate the relationship between imagery and OCD symptomatology. Participants completed an online survey comprised of questionnaires, moral dilemmas and a visual/verbal task. People in both the low- and high-OC groups demonstrated the intention bias, meaning the expected difference in moral judgments was not found. Imagery was associated with higher levels of OCD symptomatology, state and trait guilt but not distress. State and trait guilt also partially mediated the relationship between imagery and OCD symptomatology. These findings were considered in relation to the existing literature and the strengths and limitations of the study were discussed. The results suggested that future research should focus on developing interventions targeted at pathological guilt and distressing imagery.

▼ Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (
OCD) is a chronic and long-lasting psychological disorder characterized by obsessions and compulsions (National Institute of Mental Health, 2016). Recent studies have suggested that cognitive constructs may be relevant to the development and exacerbation of obsessive-compulsive (OC) symptoms. Researchers found that patients diagnosed with
OCD displayed greater levels of empathic concern and personal discomfort than community controls. These investigators argued that increased levels of empathy could lead to rumination and intrusive thoughts with aggressive, sexual, or even contamination themes, which may result in the full-formed obsessions that characterize
OCD. Thus, it is reasonable to believe that obsessive-compulsive themes relating to causing harm may be associated with higher levels of empathy. The present study proposed to provide preliminary evidence to support this hypothesis by examining empathy in persons with sub-clinical
OCD features. Participants were recruited through Mechanical Turk (MTurk), an online survey website run by Amazon.com. Using validated self-report measures, empathy was predicted by measures of sub-clinical
OCD symptoms and obsessional beliefs (i.e., common cognitive distortions seen in
OCD).
OCD features subscales included contamination, orderliness, checking, thoughts of harm, and impulses to harm. Obsessional beliefs subscales included responsibility/threat estimation, perfectionism/certainty, and importance/control of thoughts. A total of 300 participants were recruited, with 261 participants with usable data for this analysis. The data was analyzed using hierarchical linear regression. When controlling for depression and gender, obsessions about harm (Beta= 0.28, p=.034) and stronger beliefs in responsibility for harm/threat estimation (Beta=.24, p= 0.043) positively predicted empathy, while impulses to harm (Beta= -0.19, p=.010) negatively predicted empathy. Together,
OCD-related variables explained 12% of the variance in empathy (while the total model explained 19% of the variance). These results suggest that persons that have stronger beliefs and/or obsessions relating to causing harm may be more empathetic, while persons with impulses to harm may be less empathetic. Future research should further examine these relationships in a clinical population. ( en )

▼ Biased attention toward threat has been demonstrated across anxiety disorders as well as among nonclinical samples. While such studies have produced findings of attentional bias for fear-related or threatening stimuli, other types of emotionally laden stimuli have been ignored. This study sought to examine the experience and impact of disgust on individuals experiencing various types of anxiety, which may play a more significant role than fear in some disorders such as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and some specific phobias. Specifically, this study examined self-reported disgust and attentional bias in relation to disgust and threatening stimuli. A modified dot-probe task with pictorial stimuli was administered to participants endorsing fears of spiders, blood and injections, or contamination as well as participants reporting no such fears. Results indicated that each anxiety group endorsed more disgust than those without anxiety. Further, no group differed from another in regards to vigilance-avoidance, orienting, or disengaging; however, gender differences emerged on the orienting and disengagement indices. Overall, a pattern of delayed disengagement was evidenced across all groups. The results of this study help inform etiological and maintenance factors of anxiety.

▼ This body of research investigated how individuals with high levels of obsessive-compulsive disorder (
OCD) symptomatology or diagnosed
OCD reason when presented with arguments that lead to certain conclusions (deductive reasoning) or probabilistic conclusions (inductive reasoning). Previous research has suggested a “spared deduction, impaired induction” account of
OCD, where
OCD patients are impaired on tasks of inductive reasoning but are unimpaired on most tasks of deductive reasoning. This thesis sought to test this account by utilising tasks adapted from the contemporary reasoning literature that allowed for a direct comparison between deductive and inductive reasoning. In numerous experiments, participants were presented with a common argument set and asked to make judgments about the deductive validity or inductive plausibility of the arguments. Deductive deficits in sensitivity to argument validity were noted in analogue samples high in
OCD symptomatology and in individuals with diagnosed
OCD on class-inclusion problems (Experiments 1, 2 and 8), but not when validity was manipulated via other logical forms (i.e., modus ponens, conjunctive syllogisms, or categorical syllogisms; Experiments 6 and 7). Further, individuals high in
OCD symptoms were unimpaired in their use of background causal knowledge (Experiment 6) and sample size (premise monotonicity; Experiments 1 and 8) when making inductive judgments. However, both analogue samples high in
OCD symptoms and an
OCD patient group exhibited a reduced sensitivity to the implications of premise diversity in induction (Experiments 2, 3 and 8). This may be partially explained by differences in the way that individuals high and low in
OCD symptoms perceive similarity between the premises (Experiment 5). Importantly, these deductive and inductive deficits were found across both
OCD-neutral and
OCD-relevant item content and were not due to group differences in general ability. These results challenge the “spared deduction, impaired induction” account of
OCD. Cognitive therapies for
OCD may be improved by incorporation of direct instruction about the implications of diverse evidence and how to distinguish between simple valid and invalid arguments.

▼ Abstract
Introduction: Knowledge about Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (
OCD) is accumulating through neuro‐imaging research investigating involved brain circuits, most notably the CorticoStriatoThalamoCortical (CSTC) circuit. Somewhat hidden is the fact that over time many case reports have been published on acquired
OCD due to neurological lesions. Although these cases may yield important insights into the neuro‐anatomy of
OCD, to our knowledge they have never been reviewed. In this article, we will review all published cases of
OCD due to acquired brain lesions for a bottom‐up understanding of OCD’s neuro‐anatomy. These findings may lead to a better understanding of brain areas that can be targeted with Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS).
Methods: PubMed, PsychInfo, Scholar Google were used to find case reports about acquired
OCD, either alone or in combination with other related basal ganglia disorders, like Huntington’s and Parkinson’s disease. This search yielded a total of 31 case reports, dated from 1988 until 2010, which contained 57 cases of acquired
OCD. The age‐range was 7‐78 years.
Results: In most case reports acquired
OCD could be traced back to lesions of the basal ganglia and frontal lobes. Other associated areas were the temporal and parietal lobes. In addition, the occipital lobe, cerebellum and brainstem were involved in some of the cases. The described obsessive‐compulsive symptoms consisted mostly of obsessive doubts and checking, contamination fear and washing, and repetitive mental rituals. Other associated behavioral phenomena were apathy, depression and aggression. Also several OC‐spectrum disorder symptoms like tics and trichotillomania were observed.
Conclusion: Lesion studies on a total of 57 patients with
OCD following brain injuries confirm involvement of the cortico‐striatal circuit in
OCD pathogenesis. However, additional areas seem to be involved, such as the cerebellum, parietal cortex and brainstem. These findings warrant further research into the role of these areas in
OCD, particularly their potential role in DBS. Future research should also investigate the validity of the concept of ‘compulsivity’ as this more fully encompasses the obsessive compulsive symptoms found in these case reports.

▼ Tyrimas buvo atliekamas Lietuvos sveikatos
mokslų universiteto, Veterinarijos akademijos, Stambiųjų gyvulių
klinikoje. Pasirinktas tyrimo objektas, šlubuojančių arklių kulno
sąnarys; metodika pirminis klinikinis tyrimas bei rentgenologinis
tyrimas. Tiriamoji arklių grupė buvo sudaryta iš arklių, kurie buvo
pasirinkti atsitiktiniu būdu. Įvairių veislių, lyčių ir amžiaus.
Arklių kulno sąnarys yra vienas iš judamojo aparato – sudėtingas
mechanizmas. Sudarytas iš kelių kaulų junginio ir sudaro vienaašį
sudėtinį sąnarį (sraigtinis/sudėtinis). Blauzdikaulio, kulnies ir
pėdos kaulų junginys. Šis sudėtinis judamasis mechanizmas dažnai
paveikiamas Osteochondritis dissecans patologijos, kuris kelia
arkliams skausmingą diskomforto jausmą ir gyvulys į šį dirgiklį
atsako šlubavimu. Arklių kulno sąnario Osteochondritis dissecans
dažniausiai diagnozuojamas sportiniams žirgams (56,53 proc.) dėl
neadekvataus gyvulio jėgų išnaudojimo arba spartaus kumeliuko
augimo ir nesubalansuoto jam tinkamo raciono. Taip pat nustatyta,
jog kulno sąnario OCD diagnozuojama eržilams/kastratams (75 proc.)
daugiau, nei kumelėms (25 proc.). Tyrimo metu paaiškėjo, jog kulno
sąnario OCD pažeidimai lokalizavosi tiek pas eržilus/kastratus,
tiek kumeles, daugiausiai kairiajame kulno sąnaryje (58,33 proc.),
o dešinės kulno sąnario kojos pažeidimų aptikta procentine išraiška
mažiau (33,33 proc.).
The study was conducted in Lithuanian
University of Health Sciences, Veterinary Academy, Large Animal
Clinic. The selected object of research was lame horse hock joint;
method - initial clinical examination and radiographic analysis.
The exploratory group of equines consisted of horses which were
selected incidentally: various breeds, genders and age. Horse hock
joint is one of the apparatus of locomotion which is a complex
mechanism. It is composed of a compound of several bones to form a
one-axis composite joint (screw/composite). It consists of
combination of tibia, hock and foot bones. This complex locomotor
mechanism is often affected by the pathology of Osteochondritis
dissecans which causes painful feeling of discomfort for horses and
consequently, they respond to this irritant by lameness. Horse
Osteochondritis dissecans most often is diagnosed for racing and
sports horses (56.53 percent) due to inadequate exploitation of
animal strength, rapid growth of foal and improper diet. It was
also found that OCD was diagnosed in stallions/geldings (75
percent) more than in mares (25 percent). The study revealed that
OCD lesions localized to both stallions/geldings and mares, mostly
on the left hock joint (58.33 percent), while the lesions of hock
joint of the right leg were detected by a percentage less (33.33
percent).

▼ Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is frequently comorbid with depression (Crino & Andrews, 1996) and the combination of these disorders may result in additional impairment compared to the difficulties of only one of the disorders
(Peris et al., 2010). Although there is an abundance of literature examining these groups separately in relation to predictors and associated impairment, little is known about their emotion-related impairments. Research suggests that how emotions are
expressed in the family may contribute to emotion regulation difficulties in both OCD and depressed groups (Goodman & Gotlib, 1999; Silk, Shaw, Forbes, Lane, & Kovacs, 2006). Therefore, this study’s goal was to examine whether aspects of emotion
regulation and the family emotional environment could differentiate college-aged students with OCD, depression, and their comorbidity using a multinomial logistic regression approach.

▼ Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a debilitating, chronic neuropsychiatric disorder estimated to effect approximately 1-2% of the Canadian population. Our understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms involved in OCD is unclear, as evidenced by the moderate response associated with treatments targeting these putative pathways. As such, there is a need to explore novel mechanisms of disease. Recent research has focused on the gut-brain axis and highlighted the potential role of the gut microbiota in psychiatric conditions. Further, the role of inflammation is also gaining traction in psychiatric research. This thesis investigates the role of these commensal gut bacteria in OCD, by examining stool samples of unmedicated, non-depressed OCD outpatients and healthy community controls. Given that systemic inflammation is a suggested pathway by which gut bacteria effect behaviour, morning levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor-necrosis factors-α (TNF-α) were also examined. To our knowledge, this thesis is the first investigation of the gut microbiome in OCD. This thesis describes: (1) a critical review of the literature developing a theoretical basis for a role of microbial dysbiosis in OCD; that (2) three specific genera and species richness/diversity are lower in OCD patients compared to controls; (3) mean CRP, but not IL-6 and TNF-α, is elevated in this sample of OCD patients; and (4) gastrointestinal symptom severity and prevalence of irritable bowel syndrome is higher in OCD. Taken together, this thesis is the first study to provide evidence for microbial dysbiosis in OCD. Although systemic inflammation may not mediate the relationship between reduced diversity and OCD symptomatology, these results provide evidence for mild systemic
inflammation. Further gastrointestinal and psychiatric symptom severity are positively correlated, but not specific to patients with IBS. These results suggest the gut microbiome may be a potential pathway of interest for future OCD research, clinical implications are also made.

▼ Pilot-scale biofiltration experiments were conducted at the Region of Waterloo’s Mannheim Drinking Water Treatment Plant to inform the scientific and operational understanding of drinking water treatment by biologically-active GAC/sand filtration processes. Three dual-media granular activated carbon (GAC)/sand biofilters and one multi-media GAC-capped anthracite/sand biofilter media configuration were investigated. Both new GAC and GAC that had been biologically active for five years were used. The performance differences between a new, highly adsorptive GAC filter that is undergoing biological acclimation, and a biofilter that is stacked with older, biologically-active GAC media were investigated to increase the mechanistic understanding of natural organic matter (NOM) removal by biofiltration. The performance of a cost-effective, new GAC-capped anthracite/sand biofilter compared to a GAC/sand biofilter also was investigated. Performance was assessed using adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP) concentration associated with attached biomass in the filter media, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), UVabsorbance, and characterization by liquid chromatography-organic carbon detection (LC-OCD) fractionation. The filters were monitored for their performance in headloss accumulation and turbidity removal. Water from the full-scale water treatment plant was coagulated, flocculated, clarified by settling, and then ozonated. It was then directed to the pilot plant filters, which contained the same depth of media, but were operated separately from the full-scale plant. The experiments were conducted from June to September 2018, during warm water conditions (18–27°C).
As expected, the new GAC/sand filter removed substantially more DOC, UV-absorbing compounds, and humic substances than did the biologically-active GAC. There was also a typical pattern of biological acclimation in this filter, as there was high DOC removal, followed by a decline, and then a steady-state period. DOC removal during the steady-state period in the new filter was 25 to 30% on average, which was significantly higher than that in the filter containing media that had been biologically active for five years (13% on average), suggesting that DOC removal might decline over years of service. Interestingly, the new GAC/sand filter did not out-perform the biologically-active GAC/sand filter in biopolymer removal, possibly due to the size (>20 kDa) and shape of these compounds. This observation also suggests that biodegradation of biopolymers (in contrast to other compounds) occurs directly in biologically-active GAC filters, and not necessarily by bioregeneration (freeing up of adsorptive sites). Further, compared to biologically-active GAC/sand, there was no outright disadvantage to running a GACcapped anthracite/sand biofilter. One month into the experiment, the backwashing procedure was altered to improve filter run times. The increased vigorousness caused the biofilm in the GAC-capped anthracite/sand filter to decrease temporarily, and it also caused a brief…

Fear of Guilt in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.

(more)
▼ Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a significantly impairing anxiety disorder for which the most successful treatment, cognitive behaviour therapy, has 50-60% success rates, taking into account treatment refusals and dropout rates (Fisher & Wells, 2005). Thus, factors that contribute to the persistence of OCD and interfere with treatment are likely being overlooked. Indeed, Mancini and Gangemi (2004) have proposed that individuals with OCD have greater fear of guilt than others; that is, they dread being judged as guilty for not having done everything in their power to prevent some negative outcome. This fear of guilt fuels obsessions and compulsions as individuals attempt to prevent, avoid, or neutralise the feared guilt. However, few studies have explored fear of guilt in OCD, and no scales exist to measure this construct. The role of fear of guilt in OCD was therefore examined across two studies.
Study 1 explored the core features of fear of guilt in OCD, as well as the validity and reliability of the Fear of Guilt Scale (FOGS), a measure developed specifically to assess levels of trait fear of guilt in OCD. Results indicate that the FOGS is a valid and reliable, two-factor measure, and greater FOGS scores significantly predict more severe OCD symptoms among nonclinical participants. Study 2 aimed to determine whether fear of guilt evokes caution and feelings of doubt during the decision-making process, thereby making it more difficult to know when to stop and explaining perseveratory behaviour, such as compulsions in OCD. Findings suggest that greater fear of guilt does not predict more time taken or information needed to make decisions, but higher fear of guilt predicts feelings of uncertainty when deliberating, as indicated by ratings of greater difficulty making decisions, lower confidence in having made the right decisions, and less satisfaction with decisions made. Implications of these findings and the role that fear of guilt may play in the development and persistence of OCD are discussed.

▼ Research has shown that people who report living meaningful lives are better able to cope with trauma, integrate the past, present, and future into a guiding narrative, and report higher levels of self-esteem and life-satisfaction (Baumeister et al., 2013). Most research to date has examined meaning in life among psychologically healthy individuals, with a very limited number of studies examining meaning in life among psychologically disordered individuals. The current study seeks to address this gap in the literature by comparing levels of meaning in life between a sample of individuals diagnosed with eating disorders and
OCD (n=101) and comparing it with data from a nationally representative control group (n=2014). This study also examined how meaning in life related to symptom severity and trauma history within the clinical sample and proposed that presence of meaning may moderate the relationship between trauma history and symptom severity. Results revealed significant differences between the clinical and control group in levels of both presence of meaning and search for meaning. However, meaning in life did not significantly relate to symptom severity or trauma history in this sample. Implications and future directions for research are discussed.

▼ Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a common, heritable and etiologically heterogeneous neuropsychiatric disorder. Despite twin and family studies supporting genetic determinants in OCD, the discovery of causal variants remains elusive. To identify causal variants, an extended pedigree consisting of multiple affected individuals with early-onset OCD was studied. Genome-wide linkage analysis was performed using both parametric and non-parametric approaches. Whole exome sequencing was conducted on two of the most distantly related affected individuals who shared a haplotype. Variants were filtered based on their presence in both individuals, rare frequency, and location within linkage regions. Genes previously implicated in OCD were also screened. Several putatively damaging low/rare frequency variants were identified in genes involved in immune function (TRAFD1) and glutamate pathways (DLG1, CPQ, SLC1A1). Our findings identified variants within genes/pathways known to be associated with OCD and demonstrated the ability of our methodology to identify rare variants in common complex diseases.

▼ Introduction: Response inhibition, often referred, as the ability to cancel an ongoing motor response, is a critical aspect of executive control. Deficient response inhibition has been found in various neurodevelopmental disorders (ND) most notably in attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (
OCD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). While many functional neuroimaging studies have identified the neural correlates of deficient response inhibition, they have often focused on a single aspect, which is the ability to cancel a response.
In this thesis, I argue that the ability to inhibit a motor action in response to a stop signal (also known as reactive inhibition) is influenced by preparation or prospective inhibition and by the ability to detect inhibition errors and modify ongoing responses in response to errors. I argue that failure to separate prospective inhibition and error processing from reactive inhibition obscures the nature of neural correlates of these processes. In a series of experiments, I use a novel imaging approach to study the neural correlates of prospective inhibition, reactive inhibition and error processing. Children and adolescents with a diagnosis of ADHD are compared to normal controls and to children with either
OCD or ASD in order to identify atypical and unique neural correlates of these processes.
Methods: Three fMRI studies were conducted using a modified version of the stop signal task (SST) and a novel analytical approach that permitted the separation of the hemodynamic response generated by prospective inhibition, reactive inhibition and error processing. In the first study, twelve ADHD and twelve normal controls were compared during prospective and reactive inhibition. In the second study, fourteen ADHD and fourteen controls were compared during error detection and modification. The third study compared nine ADHD children and adolescents, ten
OCD and ten ASD participants on prospective and reactive inhibition.
Results: Children with ADHD showed less activation of task specific preparatory networks and a failure to deactivate the default mode network relative to controls during prospective inhibition. Both groups activated the right inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) during reactive inhibition. We also showed that the normal controls deactivated bilateral dorsal striatum and multiple regions in ACC during error detection whereas the ADHD group showed deactivation that was limited to the left dorsal striatum and a single location in the ACC. The control group deactivated the ventral striatum and OFG while the ADHD displayed positive activity in the same location during modification. The
OCD group's impairment was mitigated by activation in task specific preparatory networks that was absent in ADHD children. The ASD groupâ s neural activity in the right IFG and MPFC appeared to be very similar to what was observed in normal controls during prospective inhibition. I argue that these results indicate that all three disorders have specific and unique…

▼ Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is a therapeutic approach that emphasizes the alteration of the relationship one has towards one’s thoughts, rather than attempting to change the content of thoughts. It seeks to promote the awareness of thinking as an ongoing relational process through cognitive defusion techniques. The verbal repetition of thoughts is a technique that has recently been shown in a single-case alternating treatment designs study to significantly reduce the believability and distress associated with self-relevant negative thoughts (Masuda, Hayes, Sackett, & Twohig, 2004). The present study compared the effects of verbal repetition with brief imaginal exposure and no intervention in reducing the believability, distress, and meaningfulness associated with contamination-related thoughts. Individuals with high levels of obsessive-compulsive symptoms identified three distressing contamination-related thoughts and made ratings of belief, distress, and meaningfulness for each thought, using 100-mm visual analogue scales. They were then randomly assigned to receive verbal repetition, imaginal exposure, or no intervention, after which they completed ratings at post-intervention and one-week follow-up. Participants also completed a category membership decision task to determine whether verbal repetition and/or imaginal exposure produces semantic satiation, a temporary loss of the literal meaning of words. Significant reductions in belief, distress, and meaningfulness were observed following verbal repetition at post-intervention and there was some maintenance of these gains one week later. In contrast, no significant reductions were observed at post-intervention following either imaginal exposure or no intervention. However, significant reductions in ratings of belief and distress were observed one week later following imaginal exposure. A semantic satiation effect was observed for only verbal repetition, and although there was no evidence that this effect was associated with reductions in appraisal ratings at post-intervention, there was some indication of a relationship with follow-up appraisal ratings. Implications of these findings are discussed in relation to cognitive-behavioural theories of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

▼ Despite receiving widespread attention in the adult literature, virtually no information about the effects of thought suppression currently exists using a developmental psychopathology perspective in adolescents. The current study describes the development and preliminary validation of The Adolescent Thought Control Questionnaire, a self-report measure of thought suppression strategy use among adolescents. A principal factor analysis revealed an identical factor structure to the adult Thought Control Questionnaire (Wells & Davies, 1994) and included subscales measuring Distraction, Reappraisal, Social, Worry, and Punishment strategies. Adequate evidence of internal and test-retest reliability was obtained. The TCQ-A evidenced strong validity when tested for relations to measures of internalizing symptoms among adults. Implications for models of adolescent psychopathology as well as assessment and treatment are discussed.

▼ Hoarding is a disorder that has recently gained public attention due to the disastrous effects the behavior can have on those who suffer from it, as well as on the community. Despite growing awareness, research on the topic is still somewhat limited. This qualitative study seeks out the voices of key informants in the community who come into contact with hoarders in a variety of different capacities in an effort to add to the research base and determine what effect trauma has on hoarding behavior. Seven respondents were interviewed for this study, which revealed the following themes: 1) budget cuts will reduce services to hoarders in the Sacramento Area, 2) no available mental health services for hoarders, 3) trauma leading to hoarding typically not addressed in assessment and treatment, 4) current intervention strategies promote relapse by not addressing behavioral causes, 5) gap between empirically proven treatment methods and actual practice in the Sacramento area. The project is concluded with a summary of findings, implications for social work practice, and recommendations for future research.

▼ There has been an abundance of studies that have adopted positivist approaches, employing quantitative methods, to research OCD 'symptoms' and their underlying neurobiology and neurochemistry. There appears to be a lack of research investigating how OCD is experienced by those living with the diagnosis, and in particular the experiences of young people diagnosed with OCD. Ten young people, aged 14-17 years old, with a diagnosis of OCD were recruited from Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS). The young people were interviewed and a Thematic Analysis (TA) was used to analyse data. Four themes were developed through the analysis. The first theme 'Traumatic and stressful life events' found that 9 out of the 10 participants experienced at least one of the following three life events just prior to the development of their OCD: 'Hostility in the family', 'Illness and death', 'Bullying and friendlessness'. Four subthemes, 'Lack of understanding of the behaviour', 'Being secretive', 'I thought I was going crazy', and 'Feeling different', provided a richer understanding to the theme 'Responses to signs of OCD'. The four subthemes 'Feeling "right"', 'I was taking on all the responsibility', 'It's ruined everything', 'Everyday life is now in my bedroom' explored the third theme 'The battle of living with OCD'. The last theme 'Ambivalent relationship to help' described the conflict that most participants had over exposure therapy and accommodation of their OCD. Lastly, most participants felt the long waiting time for help was frustrating. The theme is fully explored by the following three subthemes: 'Conflicts of exposure therapy', 'Conflicts about accommodation of the OCD', and 'Frustrations of long waiting lists'. The themes that emerged may provide important information for clinicians and the implications of the research findings are discussed. The strengths and limitations of the study are noted and there are suggestions for future research.

▼ Earlier studies found that perseverative checking provokes memory distrust for checked stimuli, suggesting that compulsive checking is a counterproductive strategy to increase memory confidence. Obsessive compulsive uncertainty also occurs for functions other than memory, like perception. A previous study on OC-like perseveration found that perseverative staring causes dissociation and uncertainty about perception. In the current study with eighty healthy volunteers it was tested when this phenomenon sets in. Five conditions that differed in duration of visual perseveration were compared. Analysis of Variance showed a significant increase between pre- and post-test for both uncertainty and dissociation. More importantly, the increases set in after a short period of visual perseveration. These findings indicate that increasing dissociation and uncertainty about perception is a rapid occurring phenomenon, and therefore not an artefact of laboratory studies.

▼ Previous studies have found that repeated checking leads to a decrease in memory confidence, which in turn leads to increased perseverative checking.
OCD patients perform physical checking as well as mental checking. The latter is a form of covert checking, by which memories of specific parts of a situation are repeatedly recalled.
Research indicates that taxing of the working-memory and simultaneous recalling a memory makes this memory less vivid and emotional and it will be stored in long term memory likewise.
OCD patients are often stressed when they mentally perseverate and it is known that stress influences working- memory. It was hypothesized that a taxed working- memory in turn leads to memory distrust. By manipulating stress and mental checking, it was investigated whether vividness, detail and confidence in memory decreases over time. Participants were shown a film and were randomly assigned to one of four conditions: 1) mental checking under stress, 2) mental checking alone, 3) stress manipulation alone, or 4) no manipulation at all.
The stress- manipulation worked, but no significant effect of repeated mental checking on confidence, vividness and detail in memory were found. An effect of accuracy over time was found, which is a normal decay of memory over time. As expected, the mental perseveration had no effects on the accuracy of memory. It can be concluded that our study concerning mental checking did not replicate the results of previous authors that repeated checking is associated with memory distrust. Future research should better investigate the definition of mental checking, since it is still imprecise.

Compulsive-like sentence repetition: Exploring the threshold at which uncertainty and dissociation in text comprehension occurs.

▼ Multiple studies have investigated the relationship between
OCD-like perseveration and uncertainty. With regards to compulsive checking, staring and sentence repetition, it has been found that perseveration paradoxically leads to uncertainty and dissociation. Concerning sentence repetition, it was found that after 40 times repeating, feelings of uncertainty and dissociation were experienced (Vink, 2009). With regards to the study by Vink (2009), it could be argued that OC patients do not tend repeat a sentence as often as 40 times. In order to test the clinical relevance of sentence repetition, this study investigated whether the increase in uncertainty and dissociation is experienced before 40 repetitions.
Five groups of 20 healthy students, which differed in number of repetitions (0, 3, 6, 9 & 30 times), participated in the current study to investigate at which number of sentence repetitions feelings of uncertainty and dissociation increased.
Results showed that the interaction effect between Time (pre- vs. post-test) and Condition (0, 3, 6, 9, & 30 times repeating) was nearly significant. It was decided to further analyze the data, because the non significant finding was probably due to problems with the power. Further analyses indicated that, between the pre-test and the post-test, uncertainty and dissociation increased only after a sentence was repeated for 30 times. These results seem to support the proposition that, in general,
OCD-like perseveration leads to uncertainty. However, the effect found in this study is still not clinically relevant, since OC patients, in all probability, would not repeat a sentence for 30 times. It remains unclear why a nearly significant effect was found in the current study; methodological shortcomings are possibly the cause of this. Further research is necessary, regarding validating the thresholds of the model as a paradigm for compulsive-like sentence repetition.
