Résumé

Cognitive models of mental contamination (i.e. feelings of internal dirtiness without contact with a contaminant) propose that these feelings arise when individuals misappraise a violation. However, an operational definition of 'violation' and identification of specific violation misappraisals is limited. This study's aim was to elaborate on cognitive models using qualitative data from those with lived experience to fill these gaps. Twenty participants with a diagnosis of obsessive-compulsive disorder and/or a trauma history took part in a semi-structured interview about violation. Grounded theory was used to analyse interview transcripts. Three categories emerged, each with several themes -
