Task-achievement, obsessive-compulsive, type A traits, and job satisfaction of professionals in public practice accounting.
This paper contains a description of the results of a two-year study of task-achievement, obsessive-compulsive, Type A traits, and job satisfaction within randomly selected groups of 499 public practice accountants in Ontario, Canada. The results supported the notion that this profession attracts and conditions personalities with task-oriented, order-driven, Type A characteristics. With the exception of those who were advanced partners, the majority of public practice accountants were only moderately job-satisfied and were reportedly not committed to staying in their present jobs until retirement.

A dimensional analysis of the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale.
A principal axis factor analysis with a Promax rotation was performed on the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale. Although the scale has separate obsession and compulsion indices, only one factor was extracted. The psychometric implications of this finding are discussed.

Measuring change in a brief therapy of a compulsive personality.
In the short-term therapy over 16 50-min. sessions of a compulsive personality, there were unanimous positive changes on 17 verbal measures, with no activity shown on one measure. The verbal measures of Mahl, Raimy, and Bugental were used, along with Bühler, Bühler, and Lefever's Basic Rorschach Score and a qualitative analysis of the Rorschach. There were indications of decreases in procrastination, narcissism, and disorderliness.

Self-report versions of the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale: an assessment of a sample of normals.
The Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale was administered to 180 undergraduates and 50 medical clinic patients to obtain normative data for this widely used instrument. These data should prove useful to clinicians who assess obsessive-compulsive symptomatology.

Thought suppression and obsession-compulsion.
It was argued that obsession-compulsion might affect the consequences of thought suppression. A group of 35 female students who were first submitted to thought suppression and then to an expression instruction were compared with a group of 38 female students submitted twice to an expression instruction. The emotional character of a target story read by subjects was systematically varied between subjects, and obsession-compulsion was included as a third between-subjects factors. No evidence of rebound or of initial enhancement was found when reported story-related thoughts were compared across instructional conditions. There was an interaction between obsession-compulsion and initial instruction on attempts to avoid target thoughts during the first period. Contrary to expectations obsession-compulsion was related to fewer attempts at suppression in the suppression and more in the expression conditions. Similarly, there was a trend for obsession-compulsion to be related to more frequent target thoughts in the expression and less in the suppression conditions. These findings are discussed in relation to the role of perceived responsibility in obsession-compulsion for thought as a determinant of thought processes of obsessive-compulsive people.

Religious attitudes and obsessional personality traits among UK adults.
Recent data of Maltby, McCollam, and Millar were reanalysed to examine the relationship between religious attitudes and obsessional personality traits in a sample of UK adults. For 34 men and 85 women significant correlations were found between the Francis Scale of Attitudes Towards Christianity and the Sandler-Hazari Obsessionality Inventory trait scale. This supports previous findings linking religious attitudes and obsessional personality traits in student samples.

Further validation of the Indecisiveness Scale.
Scores on the Indecisiveness Scale have been shown to be correlated with scores on measures of obsessive-compulsive tendencies and perfectionism for women. This study examined the validity of the Indecisiveness Scale with 41 men whose mean age was 21.1 yr. Indecisiveness scores were significantly correlated with scores on measures of obsessive-compulsive tendencies and perfectionism. Also, undeclared majors had a significantly higher mean on the Indecisiveness Scale than did declared majors.

Continued validation of the Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale.
Scores on the Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale have been correlated with measures of obsessive-compulsive tendencies for women, so the validity of scores on this scale for 41 men was examined. Scores on the Perfectionism Scale were significantly correlated (.47-.03) with scores on the Maudsley Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory.

Compulsiveness and impulsiveness: unidimensional or bidimensional constructs?
The correlation of scores on the Obsessive-Compulsive Scale and the Barrett Impulsiveness Scale for 148 men and 255 women (18-84 years) was -.07, and both scores decreased across age groups, but age accounted for only 3% and 1.8% of the variance.

Reliability of the Arabic Obsessive-Compulsive Scale in Kuwaiti and American students.
The Arabic Obsessive-Compulsive Scale was administered to 204 Kuwaiti and 132 American college students. The Spearman-Brown reliabilities were, respectively .77 and .82, while Cronbach alphas were .76 and .82, denoting acceptable values for the two samples.

Criterion-related validity of the Arabic Obsessive-Compulsive Scale in Kuwaiti and American students.
The Arabic Obsessive-Compulsive Scale and the Maudsley Obsessional-Compulsive Inventory were administered to 159 Kuwaiti (Arabic version) and 72 American college students (English version). Pearson correlations for total score on the two scales were .68 and .64 for Kuwaiti and Americans, respectively, denoting a good convergent validity of the new Arabic Obsessive-Compulsive Scale against scores on the Maudsley Obsessional-Compulsive Inventory in the two different national groups.

Negative capability as a factor of problem-solving within the psychotherapeutic process.
It is proposed that negative capability, that is, the capacity for tolerating uncertainty, doubt and not-knowing, is a factor that contributes to a problem-solving approach utilizable in some aspects of the psychotherapeutic process. Negative capability can be demonstrated both in therapists and patients. An analysis of the functions of negative capability within the psychotherapeutic process shows five stages in its utilization. These are the activation of therapist's negative capability; which is followed by observations about the patient's response to his perception of the therapist's negative capability; then the therapist's clarification of the patient's problem contained within the patient's response; followed by a working-through by the patient and therapist of the problems which are demonstrated and clarified; and lastly, a transfer to or enhancement of the patient's use of negative capability as a continuing behavioural mode. Some theoretical bases for the concept of negative capability and its application as a factor of problem-solving within the psychotherapeutic process, are proposed. Clinical excerpts from psychotherapeutic work are given to exemplify the stages as defined above.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder: an exploration of some unresolved clinical issues.
The study data were obtained from a questionnaire survey of a South Australian community support group for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The response rate was 47%, yielding 81 questionnaire sets completed by members who, on the basis of their questionnaire responses, were judged to meet DSM-III-R criteria for OCD. The clinical and demographic characteristics of the respondents were very similar to those of previously reported clinical populations. Mean age at onset of OCD was 18 years and mean duration 17 years; 55% of respondents rated their current OCD as extremely or very severe. Seventy-seven percent had received psychiatric treatment (mean 55 occasions) and 47% had attended clinical psychologists or professional counsellors (mean 20 occasions). Those who reported prominent fears of losing control of motor behaviours had received a significant excess of outpatient and inpatient psychiatric treatment. Most respondents reported the presence of all 4 identified components of OCD, of which the obsession/rumination component was central. Levels of OCD correlated strongly with levels of overall psychopathology, and fertility rates were significantly reduced in those patients who reported the most symptoms.
