Abstract:   (55 Views)
Introduction: Relationship Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (ROCD) is a recently recognized subtype of OCD that occurs within romantic relationships, characterized by intrusive, obsessive thoughts about the partnership, which can contribute to marital dissatisfaction and diminished relationship quality. The present study aimed to compare the effectiveness of two therapeutic approaches, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Schema Therapy, in reducing the symptoms of ROCD and marital dissatisfaction among married women. Materials and Methods: Employing a quasi-experimental design with pre-test, post-test, and follow-up assessments, the study was conducted on two experimental groups. Thirty married women diagnosed with ROCD were purposively selected and randomly assigned to two treatment groups with equal subjects. The assessment tools included the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-5 (SCID-5), the Relationship Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory, the Partner-Related Obsessive-Compulsive Symptoms Inventory, and the ENRICH Marital Satisfaction Questionnaire. Results: Liner Mixed Model results indicated that both treatments were effective in reducing ROCD symptoms and marital dissatisfaction. Schema Therapy demonstrated greater effectiveness than ERP in several cognitive-emotional domains and aspects of relationship quality. Conclusion: These findings underscore the importance of tailoring therapeutic approaches to the specific cognitive and emotional profiles of individuals with ROCD.
