This study aimed to explore the relationship between the traumatic experience in childhood and onset of obsession in adulthood, and the character of family environment of obsession patients.According to CCMD-3 standard, 31 patients with obsession of in and out-patient department of psychology were randomly chosen in research group, another 26 normal subjects as normal control. Child Abuse and Trauma Scale (CAT) and Family Environment Scale-Chinese Version (FES-CV) are used in the study, based on these scales, we used an edited interview schema for a semi-structured interview with both research and control groups for 50 minutes respectively.Results showed: â‘ The whole score and scores of two subscales on punishment, negative-environment in CAT are all obviously higher in patients with obsession, as compared with normal control, and there were a significant difference in the two groups(For punishment: P<0.05, for others: P<0.01 ). The negative factor is chose in regress equation, and a positive effect is found, this can explain 14.67% of outcome of obsession. â‘¡The scores of 4 subscales like cohesion, expressiveness, intellectual-cultural orientation, active-recreational orientation, are all obviously lower than the normal control in FES-CV. While the sub-score of conflict is higher than the normal control, and all these differences are significant. Among them, the significant level of difference of cohesion, expressiveness, active-recreational orientation is less than 0.01 (P< 0.01). When two factors of active-recreational orientation and cohesion in FES-CV were put into regression equation, they contribute 27.84% and the disease, and the active-reaeational orientation factor can explain 20.78%. â‘¢The result of interview found significant difference between obsession group and control group in parental personality, own personality, childhood experience, and family environment.The traumatic experience in childhood and unhealthy family environment do have association with onset and development of obsession, also they have a close relationship with the development of adult personality.
