Recent advances in behavioral and biological treatments have raised
the hopes and expectations of patients and clinicians alike in
regard to obsessive-compulsive disorder-one of the most disabling,
crippling, and resistant conditions in psy chiatry. In addition to
their therapeutic efficacy, these new treatments have also opened
new conceptual perspectives, thus complementing the traditional
psychological theories of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Therefore,
it is timely for these various conceptual frameworks and the
treatment modalities they engender to be integrated and synthesized
in the pres ent volume. To this end, eminent scholars in their
respective areas were invited to contribute to this book, which we
hope will symbolize and-in some measure-actualize the spirit of
collaboration required if we are to fully comprehend the com plex
nature of this disorder as well as to address existing ther apeutic
challenges. In Chapter 1, Rachman sets the stage by providing an
overview of the conceptual and therapeutic issues of
obsessive-compulsive disorder. This is followed by an in depth
review of the behavioral interventions from which Foa vii viii
PREFACE and colleagues successfully distill the specific
therapeutic processes of exposure and response prevention. In the
third chapter, Sifneos deals with the psychodynamic factors under
lying obsessive-compulsive phenomena and details his in novative
technique of brief, anxiety-provoking psychotherapy aimed
specifically at the obsessional state."
