OCD and Cognitive Behavioral

Paper Summary:

According to the paper, as time progresses the individual may distort these concepts which leads to detrimental cognitive or behavioral approaches to existence.

What is significant in this process, is the patient then learning new thoughts or behaviors that will replace the negative ones over time.
