OCCWG and Other Collaborations
In 2006, I had the opportunity to align with the Obsessive-Compulsive Cognitions Working Group (OCCWG)—an international group of scholars who study cognitive models of OCD. Through this group, I was introduced to several current colleagues and collaborators. This work targets an improved understanding and measurement of cognitive aspects of OCD, such as certain beliefs that may increase one’s risks for developing OCD symptoms. My work with members of this group, and the relationships that have been built as a result of this group, has resulted in a few publications:
