Predicting the severity of excessive buying using the Excessive Buying Rating Scale and Compulsive Buying Scale
This study offers a promising measure of BSD. Additionally, the results provide support for the importance of buying cognitions, social factors and the motivational importance of buying objects to provide a sense of self worth and certainty to BSD.

Examining parent-report of Children's emotion regulation in paediatric OCD: Associations with symptom severity, externalising behaviour and family accommodation
This study aimed to examine parents' report of children's emotion regulation (ER) and associations with OCD severity, externalising symptoms, and FA. Participants were 76 youth (7 to 17 years) with a primary diagnosis of OCD and one of their parents. Following child diagnostic and OCD symptom interviews, parents completed study questionnaires. Results indicated that parent-report of children's Lability/Negativity was significantly and positively correlated with child externalising symptoms and FA, whereas children's adaptive ER was significantly and negatively correlated with externalising symptoms only. Furthermore, child...

The link between mother and child's obsessive-compulsive symptoms: A test of simple and serial mediation models in a healthy community sample
This study intends to build on current literature regarding the parental correlates of obsessive-compulsive (OC) symptoms among school-age children by addressing a gap related to the possible relations of parental OC symptoms, parenting stress and dysfunctional caregiving behaviors with the child's OC symptoms. The cross – sectional design involved 113 children (61 female; M age = 11.04 years, SD = 1.00) and their mothers (M age = 41.58 years, SD = 4.60), recruited through schools located in urban areas. Child-reported measures included OC symptoms and perceived mothers' caregiving behavior, while mother-...

It's not so much about what you touch: Mental contamination mediates the relationship between feared self-perceptions and contact contamination
We examined whether mental contamination, relative to established OCD belief domains, mediated the relationship between feared self-perceptions and contact contamination. In our sample of 626 undergraduate participants, feared self-perceptions significantly predicted contact contamination symptoms, with mental contamination and two OCD belief domains (perfectionism/intolerance of uncertainty, importance of/control over thoughts) as significant mediators. Importantly, mental contamination was the strongest mediator. These findings provide further evidence for the predictive power of vulnerable self-themes in OCD and highlig...

Variability in emotion regulation in paediatric obsessive-compulsive disorder: Associations with symptom presentation and response to treatment
This study explored whether variability in emotion regulation was associated with several clinical correlates of OCD and an attenuated response to treatment. Participants in this study were 137 youth (and their parents) aged 7–17 years with a primary diagnosis of OCD. Parents completed study questionnaires and children received intensive CBT with exposure and response prevention treatment. A median split of responses to the baseline Emotional Control (EC) index of the BRIEF, resulted in two groups of children – those with relatively greater and poorer EC. The results indicated that children in the relatively poorer EC ...

“I just can't trust my partner”: Evaluating associations between untrustworthiness obsessions, relationship obsessions and couples violence.
Publication date: Available online 9 December 2019Source: Journal of Obsessive-Compulsive and Related DisordersAuthor(s): Or Brandes, Avital Stern, Guy DoronAbstractRelationship Obsessive–compulsive disorder (ROCD) is a dimension of Obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) focusing on close and intimate relationships. ROCD may focus on the relationship itself (i.e., relationship-centered) or the perceived flaws of the relationship partner (i.e., partner-focused).

Moderators and processes of change in traditional exposure and response prevention (ERP) versus acceptance and commitment therapy-informed ERP for obsessive-compulsive disorder
We examined (a) moderation effects of anxiety, depression, psychological inflexibility, and interpretation of intrusions and (b) the role of psychological inflexibility and interpretation of intrusions respectively as processes of change. Participants with less dysfunctional appraisals at pretreatment performed consistently better in ERP relative to ACT + ERP. In process analyses, psychological inflexibility and interpretation of intrusions positively influenced OCD severity over time in both conditions but OCD symptom severity also positively influenced psychological inflexibility and interpretation of intrusions in bot...

Clinician-reported barriers to using exposure with response prevention in the treatment of paediatric obsessive-compulsive disorder
Publication date: Available online 20 November 2019Source: Journal of Obsessive-Compulsive and Related DisordersAuthor(s): Julia Keleher, Amita Jassi, Georgina KrebsAbstractExposure techniques are underutilised in the treatment of anxiety disorders in routine practice, but little is known about the use of exposure with response prevention (ERP) for OCD, particularly in youth. The current study aimed to examine the utilisation of ERP for paediatric OCD via an anonymous online survey completed by clinicians (N = 107). Specifically, we explored the association of clinician characteristics and OCD symptom subtypes with ERP...
