Liebe Forenmitglieder,
lange nicht mehr da gewesen! Wir führen gerade eine
internationale online-Studie zu unserem metakognitiven Therapieansatz (auf
deutsch: Moritz & Hauschild: Erfolgreich gegen Zwangsstörungen, 3. Auflage)
in englischer Sprache durch. Wessen Schulenglisch einigermaßen OK ist und
Interesse hat, ist sehr herzlich eingeladen teilzunehmen (weitere
Einschlusskriterien unten). Wer das Buch bereits kennt, sollte natürlich nicht mitmachen! Der genaue Text folgt.
Herzlichen Gruß, Steffen (Moritz)
Dear members of the OCD-Support group,
We would like to invite you to a treatment study that aims to reduce
obsessive and depressive thoughts as well as compulsive behavior:http://ww3.unipark.de/uc/myMCT2016/
We are clinical researchers from the University Medical Center in
Hamburg (Germany). For years, we have been conducting research on
psychological factors underlying obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). In
the present study, we are conducting an online study
examining the effectiveness of the latest version of the self-help
manual “myMCT” (my metacognitive training).
Conditions for participation:
1. To participate in the study it is necessary that you have symptoms of
obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) or are diagnosed with
obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
2. You should not take part in this study if you have a bipolar disorder
or a psychosis. Also you should not take part if you have suicidal
ideation.
3. If you agree to participate in the study, you will be asked to take
part in a pre survey in written form via the internet – which you have
to complete first – and after six weeks to take part in a similar post
survey. Both surveys will take approximately
20 minutes to complete.
4. If you agree to participate in the study, we will ask you to leave
your email address so that we are able to send you the self-help manual.
The study
You will be assigned to one of two conditions after you have filled out
the anonymous online survey on your current symptom. You will either be
assigned to a “treatment group” and receive the “myMCT” self-help manual
immediately or you will be assigned to the
“waitlist group” and receive the manual after a period of six weeks. Six
weeks after you complete the first survey, you will be invited to
participate in the post survey. After participating in the post survey
the waitlist group will be sent the self-help manual.
Each participant will thus eventually receive the self-help manual
free of charge as well as another manual to express our gratitude for
participation. As it is an ongoing study, please do not pass on the manual to others.
To participate, please use the following link:

Study participation is free of charge and anonymous. The terms for
participation will be repeated in more detail on the website of the
survey.
In case of questions please do not hesitate to contact us via email:
