Thought control strategies in schizophrenia: a comparison with non-patients.
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study tested the hypothesis that patients with a diagnosis of schizophrenia would report the use of different thought control strategies in comparison with non-patients. The Thought Control Questionnaire [TCQ; Wells, A. & Davies, M. (1994). The thought control questionnaire: a measure of individual differences in the control of unwanted thoughts. Behaviour Research and Therapy, 32, 871-878.] was administered to 22 patients who met DSM-IV criteria for schizophrenia and 22 non-patients. The results showed that schizophrenic patients used different thought control strategies (more worry and punishment-based strategies, less distraction-based strategies) in compairison with non-patients. The theoretical and clinical implications of these findings are discussed.
