Abstract
The reliability and validity of the SCL-90-R Obsessive Compulsive Scal e were examined using a multi-trait multi-method approach in a sample of 54 outpatients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The OC sca le proved to be internally consistent. Evidence for convergent validit y was mixed, and the results suggest poor divergent and criterion-rela ted validities. The scale demonstrated sensitivity to changes with beh avioral treatment. Overall, the SCL-90-R proved to be a poor measure o f OCD symptoms.
