Opis

There are a number of paper and pencil instruments designed to gather data from people with OCD. The most common among them the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale which underwent an extensive and much needed revision in 2006. The Komor Comprehensive OCD Inventory (KCOCDI) was developed from the point of view of the person with OCD. As such it focuses on collecting information that will lead to one very specific goal - assisting the individual OCD sufferer My goal in its construction was to elicit the kind of information which OCDers have told me they want their treatment providers to have. Hopefully the KCOCDI accomplishes that. The KCOCDI is designed in sections so that separate assessments can be made of the range of symptoms the individual is experiencing, the intensity of those symptoms, the conditions which might work for or against them in the healing process, and the presence of Special Characteristics as well as co-existing obsessive compulsive spectrum problems.
