Cognitive behavior therapy including exposures is the most effective treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder. However, many of treated patients remain symptomatic. The metacognitive therapy could achieve substantial gains in first pilot studies. The purpose of this study is to investigate this approach with a randomized controlled trial by comparing metacognitive therapy with exposure and response prevention for obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Cognitive behavior therapy including exposures is the most effective treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder. However, many of treated patients remain symptomatic. The metacognitive therapy could achieve substantial gains in first pilot studies. The purpose of this study is to investigate this approach with a randomized controlled trial by comparing metacognitive therapy with exposure and response prevention for obsessive-compulsive disorder. Following a pilot study with 40 individuals we currently conduct a bi-central study at the universities Leipzig and Marburg with the aim of including 70 participants.
Our main hypothesis is that the metacognitive treatment will be not inferior to exposure treatment.
