Research and Site Updates

Updated: 28 October 2026

Find recent changes to ROCD.net, links to the research library, and resources for people affected by relationship-related obsessive-compulsive symptoms, clinicians and researchers. Dates below identify site updates. Research articles retain their original publication dates.

28 October 2026: questionnaire pages and private online tools

The questionnaire directory now links to individual pages for eight measures, with explanations, source notes and English downloads. Six pages include online calculation. ROCI and PROCSI feedback keeps symptom totals separate from the additional distress and functioning questions. Answers in these tools are processed temporarily in the browser and are not sent to us or saved by us.

28 October 2026: a clearer publication library

The publication library now has an index of 27 ROCD-related journal articles and book chapters, with updated citations and links to publisher records. Existing research summaries and full-text downloads remain available. The bibliography provides a compact reference list and a separate historical conference section. This is a library update, not the announcement of 27 newly published studies.

28 October 2026: apps and digital self-help

Our apps guide brings together current information about ocd.app and Thinkable, explains earlier GG app names, and distinguishes the evidence for specific app exercises from the wider ROCD treatment approach.

Understanding symptoms and treatment

Start with the pattern across different relationships, the romantic relationship symptom guide, or assessment and treatment. For clinical resources, see the tips for therapists.

Earlier announcements

For dated research presentations and earlier developments, see the historical updates, media and dissemination resources and podcasts and videos. Historical event and recruitment announcements should not be read as confirmation that an event is upcoming or a study is currently recruiting. For current research enquiries, contact the unit.
