Title: Psychological treatment of obsessive compulsive disorder: an update
Abstract: Objective: The objective of this article is to provide an update on current psychological treatment for obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). Conclusions: Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), incorporating exposure and response prevention, remains the non-pharmacological treatment of choice for OCD. Recent developments highlight the importance of family involvement in adult OCD treatment, and the use of alternative ‘third-wave’ interventions. Internet-delivered CBT may provide an opportunity to overcome barriers to effective treatment, such as distance and lack of trained clinicians.
