The Obsessive Compulsive Spectrum: A Survey of 800 Practitioners

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  07 November 2014

Abstract

The obsessive-compulsive (OC) spectrum is a group of related disorders that appear to share symptomatology, neurobiology, and treatment response with obsessive-compulsive disorder. To collect data on the appreciation of the OC spectrum concept among clinicians, 800 participants completed a questionnaire to help determine their understanding and appreciation of this concept, at a workshop on the OC spectrum.
