Romantik İlişkide Görülen Obsesif Kompulsif Belirtiler ve Risk Faktörleri

Abstract

Pek çok ilişki bağlamında görülebilen ilişki temalı obsesif kompulsif belirtiler, genellikle romantik ilişkilerde araştırılan bir konu olmuştur. Romantik ilişkilerde görülen obsesif kompulsif belirtiler; ilişki odaklı ve partner odaklı olarak iki boyutta ele alınmaktadır. Bu belirti kümesi, bireylerin yaşamlarını olumsuz yönde etkilediği gibi çift ilişkileri bağlamında da çeşitli zorlanmalara neden olabilmekte ve ilişki kalitesini zedeleyebilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacını romantik ilişki temalı obsesif kompulsif belirtilerin temel özelliklerinin incelenmesi oluşturmaktadır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda ilişki odaklı ve partner odaklı olmak üzere ayrı ayrı ele alınan obsesyon ve kompulsiyonlar son on yıl içerisinde gerçekleştirilen güncel görgül araştırmalar aracılığıyla incelenmiştir. Çalışmanın diğer bir amacı ise bu belirti kümesini risk faktörleriyle beraber ele almaktır. Bu kapsamda romantik ilişkilerde görülen obsesif kompulsif belirtilerde risk faktörleri olarak bağlanma tarzları ve bilişsel çarpıtmalar değerlendirilmiştir. Son olarak psikopatoloji alanında araştırma ve uygulama bakımından ilişki temalı obsesif kompulsif belirti kümesinin önemine ve bu konuyla ilgili neler yapılabileceğine dair önerilere yer verilmiştir.

Obsessive Compulsive Symptoms and Risk Factors Seen in a Romantic Relationship

Abstract

Relationship-Related Obsessive-Compulsive Symptoms (ROCD) which can be observed in several relational contexts, are generally investigated in romantic relationships. Relationship Related Obsessive-Compulsive symptoms are addressed in two dimensions as relationship focused and partner focused. This symptom cluster can negatively affect the lives of individuals as well as leading to severe difficulties in the context of the couple relationship, and it may impair the relationship quality. The aim of this study was to examine the basic characteristics of obsessive-compulsive symptoms in the romantic relationship. In line with this purpose, obsessions, and compulsions, which are discussed separately as relationship-focused, and partner focused, have been examined through current empirical studies conducted in the last ten years. Another aim of the study was to examine this symptom cluster together with its risk factors. In this context, attachment styles, and cognitive distortions were evaluated as risk factors. In conclusion, the importance of the relationship related obsessive compulsive symptom cluster and what needs to be done about this subject in terms of psychopathology were mentioned.
