Background:

Obsessive-compulsive disorders (OCD) have traditionally been treated with behavioral therapies.
The cognitive approach offers a new theoretical and clinical perspective to OCD treatment.

Observation:

The integration of cognitive strategies enriches the classical behavioral approach to OCD.
Current controlled studies are limited in number, precluding definitive conclusions on the cognitive approach's efficacy.

Findings:

The cognitive approach shows promise in expanding OCD treatment options.
Evidence is insufficient to establish the standalone therapeutic value of cognitive interventions for OCD.

Implications:

Further controlled investigations are essential to determine if cognitive therapy is effective independently.
Research should also explore the potential of cognitive therapy to augment existing pharmacological and behavioral treatments for OCD.
