Psychological treatment of obsessive compulsive disorder: an update.

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. PMID: 26104776 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
