The Relationship Between "Not Just Right" Experiences and Symptom Dimensions of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. $82.68 Anticipatory anxiety has played a large role in contemporary views of understanding and treating obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). However, many individuals with OCD do not report anxiety, but rather report a sense of things being "not just right" prior to engaging in repetitive behaviors. The primary purpose of the present study was to examine the relationship between "not just right" experiences (NJREs) and symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Relationships of OCD symptoms with obsessive beliefs and other domains of psychopathology were also examined. Three-hundred eighty two undergraduate students were enrolled in this study. OCD symptoms were assessed using the Obsessive Compulsive Inventory–Revised (OCI–R). NJREs were assessed using the Not Just Right Experiences Questionnaire–Revised (NJRE–QR) and the Obsessive-Compulsive–Trait Core Dimensions (OC–TCDQ). Participants also completed the Beck Depression Inventory–II (BDI–II), the State–Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS). Stepwise regression analyses suggested that ordering and mental neutralizing were predicted by NJREs. Washing, checking/doubting, and hoarding were predicted by NJREs and harm avoidance. Obsessing was predicted by harm avoidance. Overall, our findings suggest that NJREs play an important role in the various symptoms of OCD. Clinical implications, methodological considerations, and areas for future research are also discussed. |

Age and Gender Considerations in Psychiatric Diagnosis: A Research Agenda for DSM-V $67 Written to help identify major gaps in our knowledge of how gender and age affect psychiatric diagnoses and to stimulate much-needed research to fill these gaps, Age and Gender Considerations in Psychiatric Diagnosis serves as both a valuable short-term source for the DSM-V Task Force and its disorder-specific workgroups, and a long-term guide for future studies that will contribute to revised psychiatric classifications in these three areas.Here, 47 experts present findings in three areas of psychiatric research that historically have been neglected but rightfully have received increasing attention in recent years and thus are worthy of investigation into their clinical features, etiology, and course:1. Significant gender differences in prevalence, symptom profiles, and risk factors for mental disorders, including neurodevelopmental, neurophysiological, and environmental factors for men and women that cut across diagnostic categories-for example, the critical importance of gender in how psychiatric illness develops and presents; DSM’s approach to gender to date; and relevant research findings and gaps in the epidemiology, etiology, and pathophysiology of disorders and the gender-related expression of psychopathology, including the controversial and complex question of whether DSM should have different diagnostic criteria for men and women.2. Mental disorders in infancy and early childhood, including diagnosis and measurement of psychopathology; PTSD and social and cognitive factors related to the experience of stress; reactive attachment disorder (unique in part because of its specificity to early childhood); mood and anxiety disorders and difficulties in diagnosis; sleep disorders, including two new disorders, Night-Waking Dysomnia and Sleep-Onset Dysomnia; feeding disorders, including the need to address overeating and overfeeding (especially given the alleged U.S. epidemic of obesity); early childhood manifestations of |

Agitation $42 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Psychomotor agitation is a series of unintentional and purposeless motions that stem from mental tension and anxiety of an individual. This includes pacing around a room, wringing one’s hands, pulling off clothing and putting it back on and other similar actions. In more severe cases, the motions may become harmful to the individual, such as ripping, tearing or chewing at the skin around one’s fingernails or lips to the point of bleeding. Psychomotor agitation is a symptom typically found in major depressive disorder or obsessive-compulsive disorder, and sometimes the manic phase in bipolar disorder, although it can also be a result of an excess intake of stimulants. The middle aged and the elderly are more at risk to express this condition. |

Alprazolam $45.99 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Alprazolam is a potent short-acting drug of the benzodiazepine class. It is primarily used to treat moderate to severe anxiety disorders (e.g., social anxiety disorder) and panic attacks, and is used as an adjunctive treatment for anxiety associated with moderate depression. It is available in an instant release and an extended-release (Xanax XR) preparation, both of which are available under several generic names. Alprazolam possesses anxiolytic, sedative, hypnotic, anticonvulsant, and muscle relaxant properties. Alprazolam has a fast onset of symptom relief (within the first week). It is the most commonly misused benzodiazepine; however, the majority of prescribed users do not develop a substance use disorder.Tolerance to the therapeutic effects of alprazolam is controversial with one view being that alprazolam is ineffective with long term use and the other view being that tolerance to the therapeutic effects does not occur. |

An investigation of working memory ability, executive functioning and judgment of learning in obsessive-compulsive disorder. $49.99 Neuropsychological functioning in individuals with OCD has been an area of recent focus, in effort to understand the neurobiological underpinnings of obsessive-compulsive symptoms. In particular, the literature has explored the possibility of executive functioning and memory deficits in OCD. The current study extended this line of research to compare neuropsychological functioning in OCD to that of other anxiety disorders, including an exploration of judgment of learning. A total of twenty-one participants were recruited from two clinical sites and the community: eleven diagnosed with OCD and ten diagnosed with another anxiety disorder. The variables of interest included verbal and visual working memory, judgment of learning and executive functioning. Verbal working memory was assessed using Letter-Number Sequencing, visual working memory through a computerized task and executive functioning with the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test. Judgment of learning was assessed by asking the participants to estimate the accuracy of their performance. Based on earlier research findings, it was postulated that participants with OCD would exhibit greater difficulty on all neuropsychological tests, compared to participants with other anxiety disorders. In addition, it was hypothesized that there would be a positive relationship between obsessive-compulsive symptom severity and the discrepancy between the participant’s judgment of learning and true accuracy.;There were no significant differences between the two groups on the verbal working memory task. A moderate effect for group was detected for group on the visual working memory task, with individuals with OCD making greater number of errors and receiving lower scores on measures of sensitivity. These effects were stronger at the most difficult level of the visual working memory task. There were no effects for group on judgment of learning. Across all participants, judgment discrepancy was significantly correlated with time spent |

Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment of Irritable Bowel Syndrome: The Brain-Gut Connection $40 Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is the most common functional gastrointestinal disorder, causing pain, discomfort, and embarrassment to millions. While medically based treatments have demonstrated only limited effectiveness, recent research strongly supports the role of psychosocial factors in both symptom expression and symptom control. This book presents a brief cognitive-behavioral treatment approach that is suitable for use with individuals or groups. Delineating a clear medical rationale, the authors help clinicians both to reduce the stigma associated with IBS and to overcome client resistance to psychological treatment. Effective techniques are outlined for helping clients manage anxiety, anger, and shame; enhance their self-efficacy and stress management skills; and alleviate gastrointestinal distress. Session-by-session guidelines are illuminated by such useful features as sample therapist-client dialogues, lists of important points to cover, troubleshooting tips, and examples of recommended handouts and forms. Also covered in depth are treatment issues specific to women. |

Gender Differences in Mood and Anxiety Disorders: From Bench to Bedside $52 Epidemiological studies consistently show that anxiety and mood disorders are two to three times more prevalent in women than in men, and women are more likely than men to develop posttraumatic stress disorder in response to a traumatic event. One of the more intriguing questions in psychiatric research today is the reason behind these gender differences. Attempting to answer this question ultimately improves our ability to prevent and treat these illnesses. Gender Differences in Mood and Anxiety Disorders: From Bench to Bedside compiles the latest research on gender differences in mood and anxiety disorders. It examines studies investigating whether the presentation and course of illness differ by gender, including the symptom profile, the likelihood of relapse, and the chronicity of the illness. Contributors present data on • The relationship between female reproductive milestones and psychiatric illness as a way to explain gender differences in disease prevalence, treatment response, and course• New neuroimaging techniques that help to examine gender differences in brain structure and function and shed light on the differences between the sexes in emotion and cognition• The abnormalities in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which contribute to women’s increased risk for depressive and anxiety disorders• Perimenopause and menopause studies that link women’s increased susceptibility to mood disorders to women’s variable sensitivity to the psychotropic effects of exogenous gonadal steroids• The effects of estrogen on monoamine function and the implications of these effects for psychotherapy In summary, this book conveys what is known to date as well as what we have yet to learn about the nature and causes of gender differences in mood and anxiety disorders. It goes a long way toward improving our knowledge of normal brain function and pathophysiology and |

Insomnia and Anxiety $149 The statistics show that as much as twenty percent of the population suffers from chronic insomnia—and one-fourth of those with the condition eventually develop an anxiety disorder. As comorbid conditions, they contribute to any number of physical and social problems. Yet too often insomnia is undiagnosed, or treated as merely a symptom of the patient’s anxiety.Insomnia and Anxiety is the first clinician guidebook that considers the evaluation and management of insomnia and related sleep disturbances that occur conjointly with the common anxiety disorders. By exploring the ways that one condition may exacerbate the other, its authors present robust evidence of the limitations of viewing insomnia as secondary to GAD, agoraphobia, PTSD, and others in the anxiety spectrum. The book reviews cognitive and emotional factors common to anxiety and sleep disorders, and models a cognitive-behavioral approach to therapy in which improved sleep is a foundation for improved symptom management. Beginning and veteran practitioners alike will find vital insights into all areas of these challenging cases, including:Diagnostic and assessment guidelines.Cognitive-behavior therapy for insomnia.Behavioral strategies for managing insomnia in the context of anxiety.Cognitive strategies for managing comorbid anxiety and insomnia.Sleep-related cognitive processes.Pharmacological treatment considerations.Insomnia and Anxiety is highly useful to clinical psychologists given the range of treatment strategies it describes and to researchers because of its emphasis on the theoretical and empirical bases for its interventions. In addition, its accessible style makes it an excellent training tool for students of therapy and psychopathology. |

Obsessive-Compulsive Spectrum Disorders: Refining the Research Agenda for DSM-V $67 The five-year process of preparing for the revision of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) has been organized around a series of conferences convened by the American Psychiatric Association, in collaboration with the World Health Organization and the U.S. National Institutes of Health, to address the future of psychiatric diagnosis. Obsessive-Compulsive Spectrum Disorders: Refining the Research Agenda for DSM-V is the fruit of one of those conferences and presents the most academically sound, thought-provoking, and timely papers from the proceedings. As the conference and book demonstrate, recent advances in psychiatric diagnosis suggest a new approach to obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) classification: • Research into the pathogenesis of OCD increasingly supports reclassification out of the anxiety disorders and into a separate group of obsessive-compulsive-related disorders (OCRDs). • The relationships among OCRDs may be better defined, delineated, and understood if the current categorical diagnostic approach is supplemented with a dimensional approach which assesses obsessive-compulsive symptom domains.• Obsessive-compulsive disorders are believed to be underdiagnosed in patients who complain of broad symptoms of anxiety, and reclassification of OCD as an OCRD would promote more careful examination of distinct obsessive-compulsive symptoms, yield more accurate diagnosis, and result in more effective treatments.• Reclassification may facilitate future research directions in examining the biological underpinnings of these disorders. In addition to examining the genetic, neurological, and ethno-cultural bases for OCRDs, the book gives special attention to disorders that cross current diagnostic categories, including: • Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD)• Tourette’s syndrome and trichotillomania• Impulse-control disorders The process |
