^∗The LOI was used to assess the presence of obsessive and compulsive symptoms, whereas the Y-BOCS was additionally used to rate symptom severity; ^†scores > 14 in the Hamilton Anxiety Scale are clinically significant (Bech, 1993); ^¶ a cut-off score of 19 distinguishes well between clinical populations of phobia patients (Connor et al., 2000); ^§ scores ≥ 61 = alexithymia, scores between 52 and 60 = possible alexithymia (Bagby et al., 1994); ^ƪindicates that both patients were 1 standard deviation above the mean (Gomà-I-Freixanet et al., 2008) whereas ^‡indicates 1 standard deviation below the mean (Gomà-I-Freixanet et al., 2008).
