Summary

This study tested a type of talk therapy called natural psychotherapy, based on Morita therapy and adapted for Chinese culture, in 80 adults with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The goal was to see if it could reduce OCD symptoms, measured by standard scales. Participants attended therapy sessions and were compared to those who received mental health education. The study is complete, but because it was small and not blinded, the results should be viewed cautiously.
