Overall, the psychosocial treatment protocol for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) has been well established and empirically supported. Exposure and ritual prevention (ERP) has been found to produce successful management of symptoms in roughly 85% of OCD cases. This strategy was first described by Meyer in 1966 and has since been studied and refined by many outstanding researchers and clinicians (e.g., Edna Foa).
