  • Specific application of exposure with response prevention to the most common obsessive themes: contamination, harm to self or loved ones, sexual “perversions,” religious transgressions, aggressive impulses, perfectionism, and obsessing about obsessing.

  • Complicating factors, including “overvalued ideation,” comorbid disorders, “Tourettic OCD,” family members who enable compulsions, and emotions other than anxiety.

  • Application of techniques to milder OC features.

  • Application of techniques and principles to “OC-Spectrum Disorders”: Body Dysmorphic Disorder, Hoarding, Hypochondriasis, and a word on Anorexia
