The objective of this study was to assess patient rating of therapeutic factors during cognitive-behavioral group therapy (CBGT) and to investigate the correlation between patient rating and outcome of CBGT for the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). In the present clinical trial, 15 patients participated in a 12-session CBGT protocol. Severity of symptoms was assessed before and after CBGT with the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS), Clinical Global Impression (CGI), Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAM-A), and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Yalom's Curative Factors Questionnaire was administered at the end of each session for patient rating of the usefulness of 12 therapeutic factors to treat OCD. There was a significant interaction between improvement in obsessive-compulsive symptoms and patient rating of altruism, universality, interpersonal learning ...

Therefore, parental involvement seems to be a key factor for the successful treatment of this psychiatric disorder. The aim of this study was to evaluate the level of evidence available to allow recommendation of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with family intervention for the treatment of children and adolescents with OCD. The systematic search was performed on MEDLINE/PubMed, followed by analysis of abstracts and full-length articles by two independent evaluators. Subsequently, an analysis of the evidence available was conducted using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system. The effect size of the intervention was calculated using Cohen’s d. We found 77 articles on PubMed, plus 12 articles via cross-reference search. Of these, seven articles were included in this review, according tothe following criteria: intervention study,...

A total of 114 family members of patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) were assessed. The following analyses of the FAS-IR were carried out: internal consistency, inter-rater and test-retest reliability, and exploratory factor analysis. The Brazilian Portuguese version of the FAS-IR showed excellent inter-rater reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC]=0.94) and acceptable test-retest reliability (ICC=0.77), with no significant differences in FAS-IR scores. Factor analysis produced three factors for the scale. However, factor loadings were not well defined within each factor, and the factors did not have distinct constructs. Thus, a global analysis approach was chosen, revealing good internal consistency of the scale as a whole (Cronbach's α=0.805). The Brazilian Portuguese FAS-IR showed sound psychometric properties for the evaluation of family accommodation, and is, therefore, a reliable instrument for use in research and clinical practice.

The objective of this study was to describe the process of translation and adaption of the questionnaire into Brazilian Portuguese. METHOD: For the translation and adaptation of the OBQ-44, we first obtained authorization from the authors of the original scale to use the instrument. Subsequently, the scale was independently translated from English into Brazilian Portuguese by two health professionals with proficiency in English. Following comparison of the two translations, a preliminary version was obtained and tried out on a sample of 20 patients with a primary diagnosis of OCD. This pretest aimed to assess the patients' understanding of the items and to make any necessary language adaptations. Then, the scale was independently back-translated by two psychiatrists, also with pr...
