Cognitive-Behavioral Group Therapy For Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

Treatment

DIAGNOSIS: Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

TREATMENT: Cognitive-Behavioral Group Therapy For Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

BRIEF SUMMARY

Basic premise: The underlying premise assumes that patients with OCD experience distorted, dysfunctional thoughts about themselves, the world, and the future, which produce and maintain their anxiety. OCD has been hypothesized to relate to an inflated sense of personal responsibility related to events that may cause harm to either the self or others. Cognitive behavioral therapy aims to help the person identify, challenge, and modify these dysfunctional ideas and adopt more functional behaviors (Kaye, 2017).
Essence of therapy: CBT for OCD focuses on teaching techniques to help patients to explore, understand, and implement alternative ways of thinking and behaving. Exposure and response prevention (ERP) is a type of exposure therapy that is used to help patients explore alternative behaviors in response to unwanted thoughts
