Summary

Adolescents with Obsessive-compulsive Disorder (OCD) have obsessions, compulsions or both. OCD is a severe psychiatric disorder, affecting many aspects of the lives of adolescents. The first choice treatment for adolescents with OCD is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), consisting of exposure with response prevention (ERP) and cognitive interventions. Considering the substantial group of non-responders to CBT, it is necessary to have more options for effective treatment of OCD. Inference Based Approach (IBA) is already an effective treatment for adults with OCD and is more effective on adults with OCD and poor cognitive insight. It is hypothesized that IBA could be an effective alternative for CBT in treating adolescents with OCD. This study will be a first step in examining the efficacy of IBA as treatment for adolescents with OCD.

The aim of this study is to explore the potential efficacy of IBA as treatment for adolescents with OCD using a non-concurrent multiple baseline design with 8 participants who receive IBA for 20 sessions performed in one psychiatric centre in the Netherlands.

  • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder in Adolescence

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Inference Based Approach (IBA)

The Inference Based Approach (IBA) (as described by Visser et al., 2015 and adapted for use in adolescents by L. Webers)is a focused form of psychotherapy consists of twenty 45-minutes sessions, delivered weekly and carried out as specified in a Dutch session-by-session IBA protocol, containing standardized forms for exercises and homework assignments. Each session has a standard format, starting with agenda setting and evaluating homework assignments, followed by determining and executing a new exercise and determining new homework. The IBA model is based on the assumption that adolescents with OCD and poor inside misjudge the actual state of affairs. It is assumed that certain reasoning processes lead to these erroneous conclusions and distract the childs attention from observable reality.
