MATERNAL INFLUENCE ON CHILDHOOD OCD: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF OCPD TRAITS
Abstract
This study investigates the maternal influence on childhood obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) by comparing obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD) traits in mothers of children diagnosed with OCD to those in a control group. The research aims to identify potential correlations between maternal personality traits and the prevalence of OCD symptoms in their children, shedding light on the familial and environmental factors contributing to the disorder. A sample of mothers from both groups was assessed using standardized psychological measures to evaluate OCPD traits, and their children underwent clinical evaluations for OCD. The findings indicate a significant presence of OCPD traits among mothers of children with OCD, suggesting a potential link between maternal personality characteristics and the development or exacerbation of OCD symptoms in children. This study underscores the importance of considering maternal influences in understanding childhood OCD and highlights the need for integrated approaches in treatment and support strategies for affected families.
