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 (for example, the elderly and
children) are reviewed in following sections. Finally, the role of
these cognitions and cognitive processes in treatment is described.
