The Superiority of Danger Ideation Reduction Therapy (DIRT) Over Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) in Treating Compulsive Washing
Overview
This study compares the efficacy of Danger Ideation Reduction Therapy (DIRT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for treating compulsive washing in individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder. The randomized trial involved 22 participants who received twelve individual sessions and were assessed on various symptom measures, including OCD severity, depression, and anxiety. Results indicated that DIRT led to significantly greater reductions in core symptoms compared to ERP, with both treatments correlating with reduced threat expectancy.
