pubmed:abstractText
The two most useful treatments in obsessive-compulsive disorder are pharmacotherapy with potent serotonin reuptake-blocking agents and behavioral techniques, such as exposure and response prevention. Based on the authors' cumulative clinical experience, it is suggested that patient education, cognitive therapy, and psychodynamic psychotherapy are helpful adjuncts during various treatment stages of obsessive-compulsive disorder. The patient's strengths and knowledge of the illness can be used by the nurse-therapist to determine the implementation and timing of these therapeutic measures. Specific behavioral and cognitive techniques that may be useful in treating specific symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder are highlighted. Suggestions for future nursing research are outlined.
