  • Title: A rapid multi-component treatment for an obsessive-compulsive disorder.
    Author: Rowan VC, Holborn SW, Walker JR, Siddiqui AR.
    Journal: J Behav Ther Exp Psychiatry; 1984 Dec; 15(4):347-52. PubMed ID: 6151953.
    Abstract:
    A 67-yr-old woman with a 45-yr history of obsessive-compulsive problems related to fear of contamination was treated rapidly by a multi-component intervention. Questionnaire data following treatment showed the patient to be free of obsessive-compulsive complaints, and these were corroborated by behavioral observations. Follow-up probes conducted 6, 12 and 18 months later revealed continued maintenance of treatment gains. Patient-therapist contact time totalled 6 hr, about one-third of the time employed by Marks for exposure and response prevention, indicating the cost-effectiveness of a multi-component treatment intervention.
