Psychotherapies and digital interventions for OCD in adults: What do we know, what do we need still to explore?
Overview
This non-systematic review examines emerging psychological therapies and digital interventions for adults with obsessive-compulsive disorder, focusing on options beyond standard exposure/response prevention. It discusses the evidence base for third-wave approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, as well as adjunctive modalities such as exercise and art therapy, while noting the need for further large-scale trials. The resource also explores the potential of digital technologies and biomarkers to support personalized treatment strategies.
