Abstract:
Several standardized instruments have been developed since 1970 to assess obsessive-compulsive symptoms. The most commonly used are discussed in this article. It appears that relatively little work has been done to evaluate these instruments psychometrically. Further research is needed to establish the value of these instruments before developing new ones.
