Dr Kirkham recently worked with a group of people with OCD to co-produce a questionnaire that measures excessive rationalisation.
This research study will help us test out our co-produced questionnaire. It will also allow us to learn more about excessive rationalisation, and how it might relate to OCD and the treatment of OCD.
People who are interested in taking part can sign up at this link. Once you have signed up, you will receive an email from Dr Kirkham which includes a link to Survey 1 and a unique participant code. Survey 1 will take about 15 minutes to complete. One week after you have completed Survey 1, you will receive another email inviting you to take part in Survey 2.
Survey 2 will take approximately 5 minutes to complete.

CPT is a training and research centre, therefore we have periods when we are open for referrals and other periods when we are closed.

We are currently not accepting any referrals to the centre as our trainees and wait list are at capacity.

We will be reviewing this position in April in anticipation of the new cohort of trainees commencing.

In the meantime, any enquires please email us at [email protected].
