Homework in online CBT for OCD

This paper focused on the role of homework in psychotherapy for OCD, using a clinically diagnosed sample undergoing a 12 weeks online cognitive behavioural therapy program. While the benefits of using homework in therapy are fairly unanimous, the findings of this study provide insights into factors that may influence clients’ motivation to engage with homework tasks. This knowledge would ultimately help improving the process of homework planning, design, and application, and lead to more individually tailored treatments, and enhance the efficacy of psychological interventions.
