Exposure and response prevention (ERP) is the most effective treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), yet the intensive treatment schedule often described and recommended is not readily accessible to many populations. In the present article, the authors describe a time-limited, outpatient, intensive treatment for Obsessive Compulsive Spectrum Disorders in Israel. Working in the client's natural environment and making use of technology are particularly highlighted.
