Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Reassurance seeking has been hypothesized to be a key factor in the maintenance of anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorders according to contemporary cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) approaches. The present study sought to examine the structure, clinical correlates, and malleability of reassurance seeking in the context of CBT treatment. METHODS:Treatment-seeking participants (N = 738) with DSM-IV-TR (American Psychiatric Association, 2000) panic disorder with agoraphobia (PD/A), social anxiety disorder (SAD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) completed the Reassurance Seeking Scale (RSS) with other symptom measures prior to and following CBT treatment. RESULTS:A confirmatory factor analysis supported a three factor solution: the need to seek excessive reassurance regarding decisions, attachment and the security of relationships, and perceived general threat and anxiety. The RSS was moderately correlated with general measures of anxiety and depression as well as disorder-specific symptom scales. Further, CBT was found to produce changes in reassurance seeking across CBT treatments and these reductions were significantly associated with disorder-specific clinical improvement. CONCLUSION:Reassurance seeking appears to be a common factor across anxiety disorders and its reduction in CBT treatment is associated with improved clinical outcomes.
