Core Tip
Core tip: Symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) have been proposed as resulting from a source-monitoring failure, suggesting that patients with OCD fail to distinguish actions they perform from those they just imagine doing. This study provides an updated and exhaustive review of the literature examining the relationship between source-monitoring performances and OCD. Most of the 13 retrieved studies did not report any source-monitoring deficits but reported reduced confidence in source-monitoring judgments in patients with OCD and subclinical subjects compared to controls. Furthermore, this review highlighted some methodological limitations and provided recommendations with respect to future studies focusing on source-monitoring in OCD.
