Resource summary

Psychological treatments of OCD-Exposure, response prevention (ERP)
  1. Aims to provide opportunities for re-conditioning.
    1. classical conditioning
      1. operant conditioning
      2. Exposure
        1. Patient is repeatedly presented with the feared stimulus until anxiety subsides (habituation)
          1. May be in a similar manner to systematic desensitisation
            1. If pace is too slow, the patient may lose motivation
              1. Anxieties persist because of negative reinforcement. To break the anxiety-producing stimulus, reinforcing must occur and the patient must learnt through relaxation to reduce anxiety.
              2. Response prevention
                1. Patient is prohibited from engaging in the usual compulsive response
                  1. This allows the patient to recognise that anxiety can be reduced without the compulsive ritual.
                  2. For example, a woman that is obsessed with cleanliness might be given a list of therapeutic rules she must accept, such as not cleaning her house for a week
                    1. If a patient can control their behaviour, then they learn that those obsessions that previously created anxiety no longer produce this response.
