Abstract

Whilst there is substantial evidence of the efficacy of exposure and response prevention in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), little research has focused on delivering treatment in a more cost-effective way. This study investigated the use of brief treatment of a single 45-minute face-to-face treatment session, followed by eight weekly 15-minute telephone therapy sessions, and a final face-to-face session of 30 minutes. Of the four patients included in this small pilot study, of whom all completed treatment, three clients improved and one client made slight improvement. Given these promising results, further investigation of exposure and response prevention delivered in this way is warranted.
