The Overvalued Ideas Scale predicts this disorder's treatment outcome. Wayne K. Goodman designed the Yale-Brown scale used to diagnose this disorder, which can be treated with a type of CBT known as exposure and response prevention. This non-autism disorder names a "spectrum" that also includes body dysmorphic disorder and Tourette's syndrome. It is distinguished from a similarly-named personality disorder due to being egodystonic (ego-dis-tonic), or incompatible with the patient's self-concept. Excessive rumination is present in the "Pure O" form of this disorder, which does not involve physical actions. This disorder is characterized by distressing intrusive thoughts that can often be relieved by repetitive "rituals." For 10 points, name this disorder whose patients may feel a need to repeat acts such as nail-biting or hand-washing. ■END■
