Abstract

RODRIGUEZ BIGLIERI, Ricardo; MAGLIO, Ana Laura  and  KEEGAN, Eduardo. Argentinian adaptation of the thought action fusion scale: preliminary data about its aplication in obsessive compulsive disorder patients, patients with others anxiety disorders and a non clinical sample. Anu. investig. [online]. 2007, vol.14. ISSN 1851-1686.

The outlined investigation was performed in the context of a doctoral thesis aimed on the evaluation of the cognitive profile of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder patients. Some cognitive models support that Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) patients have thought-action fusion beliefs that could predispose to development and maintenance of symptoms. The aim of study was: 1) to make a Spanish adaptation of the Thought-action Fusion Scale (Shafran, Thordarson & Rachman, 1996); 2) to find out preliminary data about their reliability and validity. The back-translated scale was administered to 30 OCD patients, 60 other anxiety disorder patients and to 100 non clinic subjects sample. Internal consistency, repeteability and validity results were approtiated. Theoretical and Clinical implications are discussed.

Keywords : Obsessive Compulsive Disorder; Obsessive beliefs; Thought Action Fusion Scale.
