Interventions
Intensive cognitive-behavioral treatment with exposure / response prevention
This cognitive-behavioral exposure / response prevention program is delivered intensively over two consecutive weeks, consisting of daily 2.5-hour sessions across 10 days. Each group includes 6-8 adolescents, with every participant paired with an individual therapist for each session, though therapists rotate daily. At the outset, adolescents receive workbooks and psychoeducation on the nature of obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors, along with strategies to manage symptoms and reduce impairment. The primary focus of the program is individualized exposure exercises conducted with a therapist during each session. Designed for adolescents aged 12-18, the program also includes parent sessions, in which parents learn to manage anxiety-driven behaviors at home and reduce family accommodation.
