Method: Nineteen patients with OCD underwent the treatment at the Icelandic Anxiety Clinic (Kvíðameðferðarstöðin). Of these, 17 of the patients were classified pretreatment with severe to extreme symptoms and 2 were classified with moderate symptoms. 63% of the patients had previously received treatment for OCD (ERP or CBT). Results: Mean pretreatment score on Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) was 28.79 (SD = 4.42). One week post-treatment mean Y-BOCS score was 9.95 (SD = 3.67). 94.7% of the patients had responded to treatment and 73.7 were in remission according to the international consensus criteria. At 3-month follow-up, the Y-BOCS score was 11.09 (SD = 5.89) where 78.9% of the patients had responded to treatment and 63.2% were in remission. Conclusions: All patients expressed high satisfaction with the treatment format, and none of the patients would have preferred longer term treatment.
