Abstract :

  The present study examined the effectiveness of family education focused cognitive behavior therapy on reducing family accommodation, child OCD severity and functional impairment. The study design was quasi-experimental with pretest-posttest and control group. With using Yale Brown Child OCD Scale (Scahill et al, 1997) twenty OCD children were selected and assigned into either experimental (n=10) or control (n=10) group. Then family accommodation scale (Calvocoressi et al., 1999) and child OCD impact scale (Piacentini, Bergman, Keller, McCracken, 2003) were administered. The experimental group received 12 family focused cognitive behavior therapy. During this period, the control group did not receive any intervention. All scales were performed as the post-test for both groups. The data were analyzed using ANOVA with repeated measurement. The results indicated that family accommodation, child OCD severity and functional impairment reduced significantly in the experimental group compared to the control group. Findings of this study by clarifying the role of family accommodation in the severity of obsessive-compulsive disorder, will lead to a further contribution  JIP Aug 2019 SS.docxof the application of the combined pattern of cognitive-behavioral therapy and family education in clinical settings.
