Terapia de Aceptación y Compromiso en el tratamiento del Trastorno Obsesivo-Compulsivo. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in the treatment of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.

The psychological treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is the ex- posure with response prevention (ERP). The aim of this work is to perform a functional analysis of the EPR and Acceptance and Commitment Ther- apy (ACT) procedures in the treatment of OCD, and to compare the efficacy of both forms of in - tervention. A systematic review of the literature was performed. The results indicate that these interventions are based on different processes of change; the ACT may be a good alternative for those who do not have access to treatment with EPR and in the relapse prevention.
