OCD rarely appears unaccompanied by other comorbid conditions and disorders. Nor does it typically occur without strongly associated but inaccurate beliefs and attitudes or without family involvement in symptoms. To achieve optimal gains in therapy, practical knowledge and skills are needed in how to apply standard behavioral treatment protocols and cognitive interventions, how to integrate these with appropriate medications, and how to address family concerns.
