Treating pediatric OCD with group metacognitive therapy in a naturalistic setting: a preliminary investigation of treatment effects and metacognitive change in light of comorbid disorders
Overview
This paper presents a preliminary investigation into the effects of group metacognitive therapy for pediatric OCD within a naturalistic setting, including participants with comorbid neurodevelopmental or anxiety disorders. The study reports significant reductions in OCD symptoms and improvements in comorbid symptoms among 37 participants aged 9–17 years following eight sessions. It notes that while the treatment appears feasible, those with comorbidities showed slightly lower response rates and different trajectories of change compared to those with OCD only.
