Treatment of Severe, Treatment-Refractory Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: <i>A Study of Inpatient and Community Treatment</i>

Abstract

These results suggest that even for patients who have demonstrated treatment-resistance, there may be benefit in intensive behavioral treatment of OCD. In addition it was found that even for those patients with the most profound refractory OCD and complicating factors inpatient stays of up to 24 weeks were effective in reducing symptoms.
