Abstract in brief

  • Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), including exposure with response prevention (ERP) and cognitive therapy (CT), is effective for treating obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), but study results vary due to differences in OCD types, therapy methods, and response definitions.
  • Meta-analyses show that ERP is considered the best evidence-based psychological treatment for OCD, with combined CT potentially enhancing tolerance to distress, belief modification, treatment adherence, and reducing dropout rates.
  • Although more research is needed, existing evidence suggests that ERP and CT can be successfully delivered in various clinical settings, with treatment gains from ERP appearing to be long-lasting, and future studies should focus on improving therapeutic outcomes.
