TREATMENT:
Treatment is similar to that for other forms of obsessive–compulsive disorder.
[18] Exposure and response prevention (ERP), a form of behavior therapy, is widely used for OCD in general and may be promising for scrupulosity in particular.
[1][2] ERP is based on the idea that deliberate repeated exposure to obsessional stimuli lessens anxiety, and that avoiding rituals lowers the urge to behave compulsively. For example, with ERP a person
obsessed by blasphemous thoughts while reading the Bible would practice reading the Bible.
[18][19]However, ERP is considerably harder to implement than with other disorders, because scrupulosity often involves spiritual issues that are not specific situations and objects. For example, ERP is not appropriate for a man obsessed by feelings that God has rejected and is punishing him.
Cognitive therapy may be appropriate when ERP is not feasible.
[1] Other therapy strategies include noting contradictions between the compulsive behaviors and moral or religious teachings, and informing individuals that for centuries religious figures have suggested strategies similar to ERP.
[18] Religious counseling may be an additional way to readjust beliefs associated with the disorder, though it may also stimulate greater anxiety.
