Abstract EN

The present study aimed to reveal the effectiveness of a cognitive- behavioral treatment program in reducing the severity of the symptom of obsessive-compulsive disorder, on a sample of three children and adolescents of 02 males and 01 female between the ages of 11 and 15 years who suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder And they were directed by a psychiatrist for psychological treatment in addition to pharmacotherapy.

In our study, we relied on the quasi-experimental approach, and we also applied a pre- and post-mediated measurement with a set of therapeutic techniques especially the technique of Exposure and Response Prevention.

that all aim to reduce the severity of these symptoms, Yale-Brown scale and the depression scale were used.

And a measure of self-esteem in children.

And one of the most important results obtained when applying the Yale-Brun scale OCD before and after applying the treatment program is the presence of statistically significant differences between the pre- measurement and the post-measurement in favour of the later one which demonstrate the effectiveness of the technique of Exposure and Response Prevention in alleviating the symptoms of OCD.
