One of the primary purposes of the OCI is to aid in the diagnosis of OCD and determine the severity of the condition.
The Obsessive-Compulsive Scale, often referred to as the Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory (OCI), is a psychological assessment tool designed to measure the severity of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) symptoms in individuals. Developed to evaluate the presence and intensity of OCD-related thoughts and behaviors, the OCI typically consists of a series of self-report questions.
This scale assesses various dimensions of obsessive-compulsive symptoms, including obsessions (repetitive, intrusive, distressing thoughts) and compulsions (repetitive, ritualistic behaviors performed in response to the obsessions). Individuals rate their experiences and behaviors on the scale, providing mental health professionals with valuable information for diagnosing OCD and determining the severity of the condition.
The OCI can be helpful in treatment planning and monitoring, as it allows clinicians to track changes in OCD symptoms over time. This assessment aids in tailoring therapeutic interventions to address specific obsessions and compulsions, ultimately improving the individual’s quality of life.
