Abstract

Religious symptoms have been recognized as a presentation of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) for centuries. The two main treatment strategies for OCD, cognitive behavior therapy (exposure and response prevention [ERP]), and SSRIs have been shown to be effective in religious OCD. The presentation of religious OCD within formal prayer, reported in Judaism and Islam, poses special challenges of inaccessibility of personal prayer, sanctity of the symptom, and the status of the therapist. A method of guided-prayer repetition, a variant of ERP, is described, and its successful application is reported in three cases of ultra-orthodox Jewish men with prayer as the main symptom of their religious OCD. Keywords: OCD; prayer; CBT

Abstract

Three obsessive-compulsive patients received Danger Ideation Reduction Therapy (DIRT) in an initial treatment trial. All three subjects presented with contamination/washing concerns but refused to participate in exposure and response prevention. DIRT is solely directed at decreasing danger-related expectancies concerning contamination. DIRT procedures do not attempt to address inflated personal responsibility. In addition, DIRT does not involve direct or filmed exposure to contamination-related stimuli, or behavioural experiments. Components of DIRT include corrective information cognitive restructuring, filmed interviews, microbiological experiments, attentional focusing and Hoekstra's (1989) probability of catastrophe estimation task. Treatment consisted of between six and ten 1-hr weekly sessions. At post-treatment, substantial reductions in scores on the Padua Inventory, Maudsley Obsessional-Compulsive Inventory and two global rating scales were apparent for all subjects. These improvements were maintained at a 3-month follow-up. The theoretical and clinical implications of these preliminary findings are discussed.

Abstract

It is predicted between 1-2% of the UK population have a form of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). The main obsession sufferers experience is to continually check for contamination. Many hide their condition or are unaware of the cause of their problem. It has been discovered OCD may be partly caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. Some people have found the BT Steps Clinic very helpful in overcoming their obsession. The use of behaviour therapy can make an enormous difference to sufferers, with 90% experiencing some improvement in their behaviour patterns.
