OCD and depressed groups demonstrated greater attachment insecurity than controls. No clear relationship emerged between security and PBI recollections. The PBI may not measure aspects of early interactions essential for later attachment security, or recollections may be biased according to diagnosis or attachment style.

T he total cost of mental illness in Canada has been estimated at $14.4 billion (1998 dollars), which includes both direct and indirect costs (1). Mental illness accounts for more than 50% of physician billing and uses more hospital bed-days than cancer (2). Medications are considered first-line, mainstay treatment for mental health disorders and contribute most to rising care costs (3). There is growing interest, therefore, in nonpharmacologic interventions with strong empirical support, such as CBT.
