“…Third, the obsessive-compulsive disorder personality disorder dimension was related to hoarding behavior in both men and women, suggesting that rigidity and perfectionism may have a role in initiating and maintaining hoarding behavior in both sexes (Rhéaume et al, 1995;Eisen et al, 2006). In contrast, schizotypal and dependent dimensions were related to hoarding only in women.…”

Little is known about whether the clinical correlates of hoarding behavior are different in men and women with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). In the current study, we evaluated the association of hoarding with categories of obsessions and compulsions, psychiatric disorders, personality dimensions, and other clinical characteristics separately in 151 men and 358 women with OCD who were examined during the OCD Collaborative Genetics Study. We found that, among men but not women, hoarding was associated with aggressive, sexual, and religious obsessions and checking compulsions. In men, hoarding was associated with generalized anxiety disorder and tics whereas, among women, hoarding was associated with social phobia, post-traumatic stress disorder, body dysmorphic disorder, nail biting, and skin picking. In women but not men, hoarding was associated with schizotypal and dependent personality disorder dimensions, and with low conscientiousness. These findings indicate that specific clinical correlates of hoarding in OCD are different in men and women and may reflect sex-specific differences in the course, expression, and/or etiology of hoarding behavior in OCD.

NIH Public Access NIH-PA Author ManuscriptNIH-PA Author Manuscript NIH-PA Author ManuscriptHoarding behavior has been called "pathological collecting" and is characterized by the acquisition of, and unwillingness or inability to discard, large quantities of seemingly useless objects (Greenberg, Witztum & Levy, 1990;Frost & Gross, 1993). The behavior can lead to significantly cluttered living space in the home and can cause considerable distress and impairment in functioning for individuals and their family members (Tolin et al., 2008). The clutter may interfere with the normal use of space for basic household activities and increase the risk of injuries due to fire and falling, and illnesses due to poor sanitation, as well as legal citations and evictions from home by public health authorities . Although hoarding behavior can occur in several psychiatric conditions, including dementia, mental retardation, schizophrenia, and eating disorders (Damecour & Charron, 1998), it appears to occur most frequently in the context of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), presenting in 20-30% or more of patients with this condition (Rasmussen & Eisen, 1992; Frost, Krause, & Steketee, 1996).Over the past decade, considerable evidence has accumulated that OCD-affected individuals with hoarding behavior show clinical differences from those without hoarding behavior. These differences include greater severity of OCD, as measured by the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (YBOCS) (Goo...

Objective: The current study investigated associations among eating disorders, depressive symptoms during pregnancy and postpartum, and perfectionism in a population-based sample of women.Method: Females who reported !1 pregnancy (N ¼ 1,119) completed questionnaires assessing perfectionism, eating disorder symptomatology, and depression during pregnancy and postpartum. Information regarding participants' history of major depressive disorder (MDD) was also available from structured psychiatric interviews completed during a previous wave of data collection.Results: Depressive symptoms during pregnancy and postpartum were high among women with a history of eating disorders. Both binge eating disorder (BED) and bulimia nervosa (BN) were positively associated with symptoms of postpartum depression (PPD), even when lifetime MDD was controlled. However, logistic regression indicated that women with a history of BN and BED are at particular risk of developing PPD symptomatology. Linear regression analyses conducted with the subset of the sample who endorsed a PPD screening item suggested that the severity of PPD symptomatology may be attributable to Concern Over Mistakes, a specific aspect of perfectionism. Conclusion:These results highlight the importance of assessing specific features of perfectionism. In addition, they suggest that women with BN, BED, or high Concern over Mistakes may be at particular risk of developing PPD symptoms, and could benefit from prenatal screening.

“…Este hallazgo sugiere que debe tomarse en cuenta que en algunas culturas los comentarios críticos de los padres no son considerados negativos o estresantes, por tanto no son elementos importantes del perfeccionismo. Asimismo, se ha señalado que las críticas paternas contribuyen poco al entendimiento del perfeccionismo (Rhéaume et al, 1995).…”

El estudio del perfeccionismo ha sido de interés durante las últimas dos décadas dado que juega un papel específico en el desarrollo y mantenimiento de psicopatologías con alta prevalencia en mujeres (Gelabert, García-Esteve, Martín-Santos, Gutiérrez, Torres, et al.,2011); entre éstas los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria. Inicialmente se consideraba que era una característica de las personas con anorexia nerviosa, sin embargo, se ha mostrado que también está presente en personas con bulimia nerviosa o con trastornos de la conducta alimentaria no especificados (Bardone-Cone, Wonderlich, Frost, Bulik, Mitchell, et al. 2007; Franco-Paredes, Mancilla-Díaz, Vázquez-Arévalo, López-Aguilar y Alvarez-Rayón, 2005; Rutsztein, Scappatura y Murawski, 2014). En la década de los 90´s del siglo pasado se propuso analizar el perfeccionismo desde una perspectiva multidimensional. La consecuencia de conceptua- MPS-F) utilizando análisis factorial confirmatorio en mujeres adolescentes con trastornos de la conducta alimentaria. Participaron 273 mujeres (143 con trastorno de la conducta alimentaria y 130 sin trastorno), quienes contestaron la MPS-F y fueron entrevistadas. El análisis factorial confirmatorio corroboró el modelo de cuatro factores con índices de ajuste adecuados. La consistencia interna para los factores fue de 0,70 a 0,88. Asimismo, tres de los cuatro factores diferenciaron entre las mujeres con trastorno y las mujeres sin trastorno. Los hallazgos apoyan una estructura de cuatro factores para la MPS-F. Sin embargo, existen inconsistencias en cuanto a la conformación de los factores en comparación con investigaciones previas.Palabras clave: Confiabilidad; validez; Escala Multidimensional de Perfeccionismo; muestra clínica.
