Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare two models of employment services for people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) interested in finding and maintaining employment. All 40 participants will receive up to 12 sessions of the first-line treatment for OCD called exposure and response prevention, a form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Assigned by chance, half of the people will also receive Individual Placement and Support (IPS); the other half will receive standard vocational services (SVS). This study will compare these two approaches for helping adults with OCD find and maintain work.

Conditions

  • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Individual Placement and Support (IPS)

Individual Placement and Support is an evidence-based model of supported employment for individuals with mental illness. In IPS, participants will meet with an IPS specialist weekly who will help the study participant create resumes, conduct job searches online or in the community, complete job applications, role-play interviews, and, if requested, accompany them when visiting prospective employers.

BEHAVIORAL

Standard Vocational Services

In Standard Vocational Services, participants will meet with a representative from the American Jobs Center (AJC) who will help them find a job by identifying their interests, assess their skills and abilities, and advise them on in-demand jobs and potential training opportunities.
