Demonstrated a set of research techniques that combine multidimensional scaling, a quantitative cognitive procedure, and cost outcome analysis. The multidimensional scaling results supported Reed's (1969) notion that obsessive‐compulsive clients are underinclusive and did not support Foa and Steketee's (1979) contention that they are overinclusive. Significant differences in extent of follow‐up therapy were found between obsessive compulsives ( N = 12) with the underinclusive cognitive style and those with a normal cognitive style.
