Abstract

Abstract The present study aimed to identify the effectiveness of a counseling program based on thought stopping among female students suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and compulsive hoarding disorder (CHD). The sample consisted of 40 students distributed equally and randomly to the treatment group and waiting list group. OCD and CHD scales and a program based on cognitive behavioral therapy in thought stopping were applied. The results showed that there were significant differences between the treatment and waiting list groups in OCD and CHD in favor of the treatment group on the post measurements. The results also showed the effectiveness of the program in thought stopping on the post measurements and at follow-up a month after program termination. There is the effectiveness of thought-stopping in alleviating the symptoms of OCD and HCD. Attention should be given to early intervention of thought-stopping to reduce CHD by raising awareness of the roles of nurturing and the environment in which this disorder grows and how to prevent it.
