The present study investigated the relationship of shame, guilt and blaming others with obsessive-compulsive disorder and also assessed guilt, shame, blaming others and symptom severity among OCD patients. A purposive sample of 71 (43 males and 28 females) OCD patients within the age range of 19-78 years were taken from IMHANS (Institute of Mental Health and Neuroscience) Srinagar and SMHS (Shri Maharaja Hari Singh Hospital) Srinagar. Test of Self-Conscious Affect TOSCA-3S Version 3 (Tangney, Dearing, Wagner & Gramzow, 2000) was used to assess the pathological guilt, shame and blaming others among OCD patients; Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale Y-BOCS Symptom Checklist (Goodman, Price & Rasmussen, 1989) designed to measure the severity of OCD symptoms was used. Results revealed that out of 71 participants, 1 (1.40%) fall in the subclinical category, 12 (16.90%) fall in mild, 13 (18.30%) fall in moderate, 26 (36.62%) fall in severe and 19 (26.76%) fall in extreme categories of symptom severity of obsessive compulsive disorder. Correlational analysis revealed that symptom severity is positively and significantly related to shame and guilt and is negatively and insignificantly related to blaming others.
