Obsessive—Compulsive Disorder

  • Chapter
Sourcebook of Psychological Treatment Manuals for Adult Disorders

Abstract

According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV; American Psychiatric Association, 1994), the essential features of obsessive-compulsive disorder are recurrent obsessions or compulsions of significant severity. Obsessions are “persistent ideas, thoughts, impulses, or images that are experienced as intrusive and inappropriate and that cause marked anxiety or distress” (APA, 1994, p. 418). Compulsions are “repetitive behaviors... or mental acts... the goal of which is to prevent or reduce anxiety or distress” (p. 418). This DSM-IV conceptualization of OCD offers no fundamental reformation of the previous construct, but there have been some noteworthy shifts of emphasis that reflect recent thinking about the disorder.
