Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Religious OCD
This study is testing a type of talk therapy called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for people with religiously oriented Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). The goal is to see how well ACT works and if it's practical to use for this specific type of OCD. To join, you must be at least 18 years old and meet certain scores for scrupulosity (a type of religious OCD). You cannot participate if you have had psychotic symptoms, suicidal thoughts or attempts, self-harm, or used narcotics recently. The study will measure changes in scrupulosity and how much you avoid difficult feelings at different points during the 12-week treatment. The study plans to enroll 10 participants, but its current status is unclear.
- Study design
