We evaluated a novel, empirically-based cognitive therapy for compulsive checking - a common form of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Twelve adults completed 12 sessions of the therapy. Significant reductions in checking-related symptoms were found pre- to post-treatment, and pre-treatment to 6-month follow-up (moderate to large effect sizes). Participants reported high treatment acceptability after the third session, which was maintained at post-treatment. This pilot trial provides preliminary support for treating compulsive checking using this novel cognitive approach.
我们评估了一种基于经验的新型认知疗法，用于治疗强迫性检查——强迫症的一种常见形式。12名成年人完成了12次该疗法的治疗。治疗前到治疗后，以及治疗前到6个月随访期间，与检查相关的症状均有显著减轻（效应量为中等至大）。参与者在第三次治疗后报告了较高的治疗可接受性，且在治疗后仍保持这一水平。这项初步试验为使用这种新型认知方法治疗强迫性检查提供了初步支持。
