Inference-Based CBT
(I-CBT)
Exposure with Response Prevention (ERP)
Exposure with Response Prevention (ERP) is grounded in the Behavioral Therapy theories of fear and avoidance. Behavioral Therapy views psychological disorders as learned or conditioned behaviors that can be unlearned and changed through behavioral modification. Due to its conception as a behavioral approach, ERP targets behaviors in treatment. ERP aims to teach individuals that they can handle the scary responses, do nothing about them, and learn that they can be OK. This helps the person learn that they are safe, even if OCD says they might not be.
