Description
Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) has perplexed clinicians and researchers for many years. Despite recent advances in our understanding
of and ability to treat this debilitating problem, many people with OCD do not benefit or benefit only marginally from existing treatments.
Newer approaches and a better understanding of the pathogenesis of OCD are needed. One such approach that has shown considerable promise
in recent years is cognitive therapy. Recent studies have found cognitive therapy to be an effective treatment for OCD, and research
on cognitive theory for OCD is rapidly expanding.
This volume assembles nearly all of the major investigators responsible for the
development of cognitive therapy (and theory) for OCD, as well as other major researchers in the field to write about cognitive phenomenology,
assessment, treatment, and theory related to OCD. Each chapter of the book is written by an expert in the area. The first section of
the book describes the domains of cognition in OCD and the subsequent section outlines measurement strategies where the efforts of an
international working group of scholars to develop measures of OCD cognition are described. Reviews of OCD cognitions in OCD spectrum
disorders and in specific populations (e.g. elderly, children) are reviewed in following sections. Finally, the role of these cognitions
and cognitive processes in treatment is described.
