the sample of the study consisted of (16) psychologically disordered persons with obsessive-compulsive disorder, who were divided equally into two groups, the experimental and control ones.

the researcher used an obsessive-compulsive disorder scale prepared by nael akhras (2016), and a mindfulness scale prepared by al-Buhairi and Mahmoud (2014).

moreover, the researcher designed his own therapy program based on mindfulness.

the study findings have revealed that the more mindfulness the patient, the less symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
