Abstract

This chapter examines how “the self” is implicated in obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD). The chapter begins by presenting the phenomenology of OCD and theoretical accounts that credit the involvement of self-processes in OCD, with emphasis given to Guidano and Liotti’s (1983) theory of self-ambivalence. Then, empirical support for a relationship between obsessive–compulsive (OC) phenomena and various self constructs is reviewed. Ambivalence about moral self-worth, and burgeoning research into implicit self processes, are proposed to have particular relevance in our understanding of the development, maintenance and treatment of OCD.
