Ankara, Ankara University, TurkeyTitle : Adversity, uncertainty, and elevated symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder: A new understanding through resiliency and positive psychotherapy
Abstract
The content of
thought formed by information processing from the social context lived is a
critical factor that guides whether the behavior is pathological or not. In
cases where worry, anxiety, and fear are dominant in the content of thought,
the individuals find themselves in various pathological processes. Adversity
with uncertainty may lead to chaotic situations at the cognitive level, e.g.
thought content such as distortions in thought, severe worry, and anxiety which
underlies obsessive-compulsive disorder. Although the disorder is classified
under anxiety disorders, it is a thought distortion disorder. The individuals
find themselves repeating the strange behavior patterns accompanied by strange
thought contents to get rid of the severe intolerable anxiety and the
accelerated thought cycle, ruminations, thought
distortions, and over-generalizations. Ruminations impair the ability to think
and process emotions gradually. Obsessive-Compulsive
Disorder will be discussed in terms of adversity and uncertainty. Positive
Psychotherapy which is one of the latest effective techniques in the recovery
processes of the disease will be mentioned.
