β¦ Synopsis
Demonstrated a set of research techniques that combine multidimensional scaling, a quantitative cognitive procedure, and cost outcome analysis. The multidimensional scaling results supported Rced's (1969) notion that obsessive-compulsive clients are underinclusive and did not support Foa and Steketee's ( 1979) contention that they are overinclusive. Significant differences in extent of follow-up therapy were found between obsessive compulsives (N = 12) with the underinclusive cognitive style and those with a normal cognitive style.
