Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Treatment with Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
- Therapy for OCD Rituals & Thoughts
A large amount of research has now shown that Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is the psychological treatment of choice for obsessive-compulsive symptoms, including compulsive behaviours and obsessional thoughts. Two main types of CBT treatments have been shown to be effective in treating Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), namely: Cognitive Therapy and a form of behaviour therapy known as Exposure with Response Prevention (ERP).
While there are large numbers of studies demonstrating the effectiveness of ERP for OCD, a recent study examined the effectiveness of a form of Cognitive Therapy for OCD which has been called Danger Ideation Reduction Therapy (DIRT). This study found this particular form of Cognitive Therapy to be highly effective for OCD sufferers.
