Interference-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT)
Demonstration of Module 2: The logic of OCD
This step in treatment aims to increase the client’s awareness of the thoughts and beliefs which precede the obsession, and familiarize the client with their reasoning behind the doubt. This identification of reasons behind the doubt should be carried out in an exploratory fashion without necessarily labelling those reasons as the cause of the problem. In fact, it is emphasized to the client that the justification can appear quite logical. The main reason for this apparent ‘logic’ behind the obsessional doubt is that the arguments supporting the doubt are not necessarily incorrect in isolation from the context in which they occur (‘People do die from germs’, or ‘There is always the possibility of making a mistake’). In other words, it is often not the logic which renders the justification of the doubt ‘invalid’.
