Healio (10/25, Gramigna) reports “attachment style should be evaluated among adults with obsessive-compulsive disorder, according to” researchers who “analyzed data of 135 patients with OCD and 135 matched controls who completed the Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Revised, Obsessive Beliefs Questionnaire-46 and the ASQ.” According to Healio, “Higher need of approval most strongly predicted OCD diagnosis compared with the other attachment facets, even more so than obsessive beliefs.” The results were published online in the Journal of Psychiatric Research.
