How to Treat OCD Effectively

A clinical tool for treating OCD

In my previous post I discussed the differences between two ways of conducting ERP: The outdated and disproven Emotion Processing Theory (EPT) and the more contemporary and in my experience successful model called Inhibitory Learning Theory (ILT). In this post, I break down some of the most important differences between how ERP is conducted based on either of these models, and the rationales that each model uses to justify the techniques used. This is a lot of nuanced information, so if you find yourself confused please refer to earlier posts on this blog for more fundamental information before returning to this chart.
