Abstract
Objective To explore the relationship among self- inconsistency, alexithymia and obsessions-compulsions of patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Methods The Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale ( Y-BOCS), Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS) and Self- consistency and Congruence Scale (SCCS) were adopted to test 45 patients with obsessive -compulsive disorder (observation group) and 45 cases normal subjects ( control group). Results ①The scores of self- consistency, inflexibility and total score of Y- BOCS in observation group were higher than those of control group (P ＜ 0. 01 ), but the score of flexibility in observation group was lower than that in control group ( P ＜0. 01 ) . ②The total score of TAS and factor Ⅰ, Ⅱ scores in observation group were significantly higher than those in control group ( P ＜ 0. 01 ) . ③The score of self-consistency, the total score of TAS and factor Ⅰ, Ⅱ scores were significantly positively correlated with the total score of Y-BOCS (P ＜ 0. 01 ) . Conclusions The patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder have significantly alexithymia and low self-consistency. Alexithymia and self- consistency were significantly correlated with obsessions-compulsions. Key words: Obsessive-compulsive disorder; Alexithymia; Self-consistency; Obsessions-compulsions
