Abstract
In the UK, the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence's guidelines on obsessive - compulsive disorder (OCD) recommend cognitive - behavioural therapy, including exposure and response prevention, as an effective treatment for the disorder. This article introduces a cognitive - behavioural model of the maintenance of symptoms in OCD. It discusses the process of engagement and how to develop a formulation to guide the strategies for overcoming the disorder.
