This report details the contents of a 10-week psychoeducational and support group for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) patients and their significant others. As growing numbers of OCD patients seek behavioral and psychopharmacologic treatments for their disorder, the need for such a group has increased. Little is written about this type of group, despite the need. Successful research and evaluation of this treatment entity will rely on a clearly defined group protocol such as the one reported here. In the present study, the group averaged 21 members in attendance. The 17 members present at the final session rated the group an average of 3.8 on a 0 (poor) to 4 (excellent) scale across several content areas. These uncontrolled data suggest that the format has clinical utility as a tool for the delivery of information and support to OCD patients and their significant others.
本报告详细介绍了一个为期10周的针对强迫症（OCD）患者及其重要他人的心理教育与支持小组的内容。随着越来越多的强迫症患者寻求针对其疾病的行为和心理药物治疗，对这样一个小组的需求也在增加。尽管有需求，但关于这类小组的文献却很少。对这个治疗实体的成功研究和评估将依赖于一个明确界定的小组方案，比如本文所报告的这个。在本研究中，该小组平均有21名成员参加。在最后一次会议上出席的17名成员在几个内容领域中，以0（差）到4（优秀）的量表对该小组的评价平均为3.8。这些未加控制的数据表明，这种形式作为向强迫症患者及其重要他人提供信息和支持的工具具有临床实用性。
