The gold standard of therapy for obsessive compulsive disorder, exposure with response prevention, may not be suitable to obsessional sub-type. Live exposure is not possible and response prevention is difficult. These obsessions (sexual, religious or aggressive) are repugnant and resisted. Negative attitude against obsessions leads to treatment refusal or dropout from therapy. In Cognitive therapy (CT) these attitudes can be corrected and exposure can be administered in the form of behavioral experiments (using behavioral tasks to change the dysfunctional attitudes). Such a case is treated with CT, weaned off medications and remains improved at 9 months.
