What’s Involved in Treatment?
3. Cognitive Therapy
• Interpretation of the intrusive thought
contributes to anxiety.
• CT helps distance and manage anxiety by
challenging these thoughts.

• What are the chances that if I touch the door handle I will get
sick?
• How many people have touched the door before & not gotten
sick?
• If people could get sick from touching the door handle, then
why are more people not afraid of touching the door handle?

What’s Involved in Treatment?
3. Exposure and Response Prevention
• Exposure- confronting the images, objects &
situations that make someone anxious.
• Response Prevention- resisting urge to do
the compulsive behaviour.

What’s Involved in Treatment?
• Initial increase in anxiety will be expected.
• Usually ERP will be done in a graded/gradual
manner.

Family Involvement
• OCD can affect the entire family & often cause stress to
relationships.
• Families often unintentionally help OCD behaviours
through:
• Participation in rituals and reassurance.
• Assisting in avoidance.
• Accommodating the OCD behaviours.

OCD in Adolescent & Children
•
Evidence suggests that CBT is also effective in treating children &
adolescents with OCD (Abramowitz, Whiteside & Deacon, 2005).
• Treatment needs to be adjusted to be developmentally appropriate.
• Family involvement is more critical.
