TL;DR: The available research indicates that ERP is the first line evidence based psychotherapeutic treatment for OCD and that concurrent administration of cognitive therapy that targets specific symptom-related difficulties characteristic of OCD may improve tolerance of distress, symptom- related dysfunctional beliefs, adherence to treatment, and reduce drop out.

Abstract: Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), which encompasses exposure with response prevention (ERP) and cognitive therapy (CT), has demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). However, the samples studied (reflecting the heterogeneity of OCD), the interventions examined (reflecting the heterogeneity of CBT), and the definitions of treatment response vary considerably across studies. This review examined the meta-analyses conducted on ERP and cognitive therapy (CT) for OCD. Also examined was the available research on long-term outcome associated with ERP and CT. The available research indicates that ERP is the first line evidence based psychotherapeutic treatment for OCD and that concurrent administration of cognitive therapy that targets specific symptom-related difficulties characteristic of OCD may improve tolerance of distress, symptom-related dysfunctional beliefs, adherence to treatment, and reduce drop out. Recommendations are provided for treatment delivery for OCD in general practice and other service delivery settings. The literature suggests that ERP and CT may be delivered in a wide range of clinical settings. Although the data are not extensive, the available research suggests that treatment gains following ERP are durable. Suggestions for future research to refine therapeutic outcome are also considered.

TL;DR: The proposed grouping includes obsessive-compulsive disorder, body dysmorphic disorder, hypochondriasis, olfactory reference disorder, and hoarding disorder, which is based on common clinical features of included disorders including repetitive unwanted thoughts and associated behaviours and is supported by emerging evidence from imaging, neurochemical, and genetic studies.

TL;DR: It is argued that ACC function contributes to individual differences in personality traits related to reward sensitivity and persistence, and it is proposed that the maladaptive expression of these traits contributes to multiple mental and neurological disorders.

Predictors of treatment outcome in modular cognitive therapy for obsessive–compulsive disorder
TL;DR: Examination of predictors of outcome for a comprehensive cognitive therapy developed for patients with obsessive–compulsive disorder indicated that participants who perceived themselves as having more severe OCD at baseline remained in treatment but more severe symptoms were marginally associated with worse outcome for those who completed therapy.
