Cognitive-behavioural models of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) implicate thought suppression as a key factor in the development and persistence of the disorder. There is now more than a decade of research on thought suppression and its effects as they pertain to OCD. This paper briefly reports on initial thought suppression research and then offers a detailed review of recent thought suppression research that has directly examined the role of suppression in OCD. Theoretical and methodological issues in using thought suppression paradigms to understand OCD are discussed. It is concluded that this body of work continues to yield inconsistent findings with respect to the effects of suppression on thought frequency, although there are some consistent findings that suggest that suppression is driven by negative thought appraisal and is associated in turn with greater OCD symptomatology. Thus, there is support in this work for key tenets of cognitive-behavioural models of OCD. Suggestions for future research directions are offered.
强迫症(OCD)的认知行为模型认为思维抑制是该疾病发展和持续存在的关键因素。关于思维抑制及其与强迫症相关的影响,目前已有十多年的研究。本文简要报告了最初的思维抑制研究,然后详细回顾了最近直接考察抑制在强迫症中作用的思维抑制研究。讨论了使用思维抑制范式来理解强迫症的理论和方法问题。结论是,尽管有一些一致的研究结果表明抑制是由负面思维评价驱动的,并且反过来与更严重的强迫症症状相关,但关于抑制对思维频率的影响,这一系列研究仍然得出了不一致的结果。因此,这项研究支持了强迫症认知行为模型的关键原则。并给出了未来研究方向的建议。
