Abstract:
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is characterized by recurrent episodes of intrusive thinking and/or behavior, persistent and variable symptoms, and chronic recurrence. It is clearly recommended in the OCD treatment guidelines that psychotherapy can effectively improve clinical symptoms and play an important role in maintaining long-term efficacy. However, previous research and clinical practice paid little attention to the application of psychological interventions in OCD.Currently, there is insufficient understanding of psychotherapy for OCD, especially the proven first-line exposure and response prevention therapy (ERP), cognitive-behavioral therapy, and Morita therapy.Due to limited resources, they have not received effective intervention. Therefore, this article reviews the relevant research on psychological therapy intervention for OCD in recent years, summarizes the intervention effects of different psychological therapy methods on OCD and further elaborates on possible therapeutic mechanisms.Based on this, combined with the existing research, this article clarifies the effect of various behavioral psychological interventions and their combined treatment, and explores group and online forms of psychological intervention in order to increase the accessibility of psychotherapy for OCD patients.
