The Language of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

The Centre for Language, Discourse and Communication at King’s College London is currently seeking individuals with OCD to participate in a study on the language patterns used by people with OCD.

We are looking for males and females aged 18 or over who are native English speakers and who currently have OCD (a diagnosis by a health professional is not required).

If you volunteer, you will be asked to complete a self-report questionnaire of OCD, a picture describing task, a written task and an interview. In total, these tasks will take approximately 2.5 hours. You will be offered a £15 voucher for your participation and we will arrange the time and location to suit you.

If you would like to participate or for more information, please see the recruitment advert or contact Olivia Knapton: olivia.knapton@kcl.ac.uk.

This study received ethical approval from the Social Sciences, Humanities and Law Research Ethics Sub-committee at King’s College London (REC reference: SSHL/10/11-4).
