OBQ-44
Obsessive Beliefs Questionnaire (OBQ-44)
The OBQ-44 is a self-report questionnaire designed to assess the dysfunctional beliefs associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It measures three main dimensions: responsibility/overestimation of threat, perfectionism/intolerance of uncertainty, and overimportance/power of thoughts. It is useful for identification and cognitive formulation in the treatment of OCD.
