[The effectiveness of cognitive behavioral group psychotherapy for obsessive-compulsive disorder].

CONCLUSIONS: CBGT was associated with significant improvement in OCD symptoms. Neither demographic characteristics (age, gender, and education level), nor clinical characteristics (disease duration, type of obsession, compulsion type, treatment history, and comorbidity pattern) had an effect on treatment outcome. In light of these findings, we think CBGT is an effective option for the treatment of OCD.
