Abstract

In this research, we try to understand Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) beyond its symptoms, as a way of planning different intervention strategies to help alleviate the suffering of patients. This disorder has a prevalence between 1.5% and 3% with variations in different cities. Despite its high prevalence, consultation levels are low since the disorder itself is associated with shame and fear, affecting a person’s identity, the way the subject approaches the world and the life wished for. The reference frame adopted is the Suprapradigmatic Integrative Model, especially the functions of the Self proposed by this approach. The research is descriptive and aims to characterize the functions of the Self of patients with OCD. The sample is of 18 patients attended at a Psychological Services Center in Santiago, Chile, evaluated with the Integral Clinical Evaluation (FECI).
