  • Title: Dimensional approach to obsessive-compulsive disorder in childhood and adolescence.
    Author: Thomsen PH, Jensen J.
    Journal: Acta Psychiatr Scand; 1991 Mar; 83(3):183-7. PubMed ID: 2031462.
    Abstract:
    Based on a review of the charts of child and adolescent psychiatric patients, a group of patients with obsessive-compulsive symptoms and a control group were identified. Obsessive-compulsive symptoms described in the charts were classified according to form using the checklist of Khanna et al. By use of latent trait models, a 6-item obsessive-compulsive rating scale was established revealing a dimensional rather than a categorical distribution of obsessive-compulsive symptoms. The correlation with other clinical features was investigated.
