This case study uses three different frameworks of inquiry to examine Turtles All the Way Down by John Green (2017) with a disability lens. The analysis extends beyond the traditional medical/social dichotomy and considers how disability is tied to both agency and identity. Narratives and counter-narratives of disability are also investigated, as well as disability markers used in previous scholarship. The discussion concludes with an argument to include the novel in secondary English classes to create mental health allies.  A consideration for medical humanities scholars is also included to use Green’s text with patients with OCD, as a way for readers to find an identifiable protagonist.

The aim of this article is to discuss possible directions of interdisciplinary studies on obsessive-compulsive disorder. It is proposed that while examining the cognitive basis of the disorder one’s beliefs about the way cognitive processes work and the actual functioning of these processes should be taken into consideration, with executive functions in particular. Interdisciplinary studies combining psychiatry, clinical psychology and cognitive sciences may not only improve the understanding of the nature of cognitive processes, but also provide important data on how they are associated with specific symptoms of mental disorders. From a broader perspective such an approach may be potentially useful in developing new therapeutic techniques.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) has a high life-time prevalence, affecting as many as 2–3% of children and adolescents. According to the American Psychological Association the treatment of choice in OCD is cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), which was found to be effective in juveniles and adults. Cognitive-behavioural interventions have to be modified in the treatment of children and adolescents with OCD considering developmental issues and specific features of the juvenile form of the disorder. Research on cognitive models of OCD in child and adolescent samples is influential in understanding and treating juvenile OCD.

Objectives Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is an anxiety-spectrum disorder that affects 1–2% of the adult population. People with OCD are more likely to report impaired social and occupational functioning. Although effective treatments of the OCD exist, many sufferers from this disorder are continuously misdiagnosed. Therefore, improving the assessment of the OCD remains an important area of scientific research. The main goal of the study is the initial verification of psychometric properties in the Polish version of the Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Revised (OCI-R) in a college student sample. Material and Methods A group of students completed a battery of measures consisting of obsessive-compulsive symptoms (The OCI-R, The Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale), depression (The Beck Depression Inventory) and anxiety trait (The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory). Results A confirmatory factor analysis, conducted on data from 334 university students, supported a solid and replicable 6-fold factor structure of the OCI-R. Further analyses on test-retest reliability (following a 1-month interval), convergent and divergent validity of the OCI-R were respectively conducted in a group of 137 students who had completed a battery of measures mentioned above. The results showed adequate testretest reliability for the full scale and subscales cores, high internal consistency and confirmed satisfactory convergent and divergent validity. Conclusions The study constitutes the first phase of work on a Polish version of measurement for obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Satisfactory results obtained in a non-clinical sample allow to recognize this method to be promising for further research. Int J Occup Med Environ Health 2016;29(6):1011–1021

This article discusses scrupulosity disorder and ecclesiogenic neurosis and shows their similarity to obsessive-compulsive disorder described in the International Statistical Classification of Diseases ICD-11. It shows the most important differences between the scrupulosity disorder, ecclesiogenic neurosis and obsessive-compulsive disorder, the differences which result in difficulties in therapy and from the perspective of the patient. At the beginning, the article presents a description of obsessive-compulsive disorder and proposes a diagram of the dynamics of the symptoms of this disorder. Later, in this diagram the symptoms typical of the scrupulosity disorder and ecclesiogenic neurosis are included, and the difficulties in their therapy are discussed.

W artykule omówiono chorobę skrupułów i nerwicę eklezjogenną oraz przedstawiono ich podobieństwo do zaburzeń obsesyjno-kompulsyjnych opisanych w Międzynarodowej Klasyfikacji Chorób ICD-11. Jednocześnie ukazano najważniejsze różnice między chorobą skrupułów i nerwicą eklezjogenną a zaburzeniami obsesyjno-kompulsyjnymi, z których to różnic wynikają znaczące trudności, zarówno w terapii jak i z punktu widzenia chorego. We wstępie artykułu przedstawiony został opis zaburzeń obsesyjno-kompulsyjnych oraz zaproponowano autorski schemat dynamiki przebiegu objawów tego zaburzenia. W dalszej części w ten schemat zostają wpisane objawy typowe dla choroby skrupułów i nerwicy eklezjogennej oraz zostają omówione największe trudności w ich leczeniu.
