Guest lilyelspeth Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 I just read "Over and Over Again" by Neziroglu and Tobias. It has some nice info on this topic and I think it was useful. Link to comment
Caramoole Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 I'm still not sure what it means.....and I'm actually a brunette :lol: Link to comment
Guest lilyelspeth Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 I'm still not sure what it means.....and I'm actually a brunette :lol: 31519[/snapback] For example: "Overvalue ideation refers to the strength of one's belief in the cognitions/thoughts related to the obsessions and compulsions. The stronger one's belief in the reality basis of one's fear, the more difficult it is to treat the compulsion...Overvalue ideators believe that the disastrous consequences of not engaging in the compulsion are more likely to occur than not." OI is often seen in those with BDD. Hope that helps. Link to comment
Guest waul46 Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 I have heard that the ocd sufferes with overvalued ideas can still be helped but it is said that they should get skilled cognitive therapy to delegitimize their fears before getting into exposure and response prevention as they seem to be less likely to engage in E& R work while they hold on to the idea that their thoughts and worries are legitimate! Have aslo heard that these sufferes are more likely to be put on medications! waul Link to comment
whitebeam Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Aren't most OCD obsessions and thoughts over-valued. We over-value eg the strength of germs and their ability to spread, or am I being a bit blonde too :lol: Link to comment

I hope I'm right :omg: Link to comment
Caramoole Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Thanks for the explanation lilyelspeth....I was completely missing the point somewhere :lol: I see what you mean. Link to comment
