Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-40), Bell Silhouettes and the sociodemographic data, are useful for
obtaining the clinical and psychological profiles of the individuals who comprise the sample. In
Mexico there are some studies on community samples, whereas it is scarce on clinical population;
therefore this study contributes to the knowledge of these disorders on outpatients.

The main goal of this study was to analyze the differences and similarities observed between the
scientific literature and the real clinical practice developed in Spain recently by behavioral therapy
in the approach and consideration of obsessive-compulsive disorder. The analysis of the more
interesting variables and the relationship between them in the two areas, as well as the
comparation of published versus non published cases seems to indicate an important divergence
between academic field and clinical setting. This situation can be considered a sign discouraging
of the integral developing of the psychological science prevalent nowadays.

Fiona Bailey, Kathleen Moore, Deakin University, School of Psychology, Australia
Recent research has explored various cognitive distortions that can perpetuate symptoms of
obsessive compulsive disorder. In particular, an inflated sense of personal responsibility for
preventing harm has been identified as pivotal in maintaining the obsessions and rituals that
characterise OCD. While the role of inflated responsibility in OCD and its treatment has been
examined, the origins of such beliefs have not. Results from a questionnaire based study are
presented in which several psychosocial origins of inflated responsibility beliefs are identified
which together explain 45% of the variance in inflated responsibility. The implications of the
findings for clinical practice are discussed.

University of Vermont, Burlinton, VT, USA
This presentation will provide an overview of research on the voucher-based incentives approach
to substance abuse treatment. This approach was originally developed as a novel method for
improving retention and increasing abstinence among cocaine-dependent outpatients. The efficacy
of vouchers for those purposes is now well established and plans are underway to move the
intervention into effectiveness testing in community clinics. The use of vouchers also has been
