| description | This PhD is a mixed-method project of four interrelated studies that explores the importance of magical thinking in explaining obsessive-compulsive (OC) symptoms with a transcultural perspective, between India (holistic-thinking culture) and Australia (analytic-thinking culture).

It adds a new facet to the existing cognitive dysfunction model of OCD and warrants more attention, for both theoretical and clinical advancement. |
